Rural After-School Programs: Meeting The Needs Of At-Risk Youth And Their Families, Bethany L. Letiecq, Sandra J. Bailey Oct 2007

Rural After-School Programs: Meeting The Needs Of At-Risk Youth And Their Families, Bethany L. Letiecq, Sandra J. Bailey

Journal of Youth Development

Extant research has focused on out-of-school time among urban and suburban youth, yet there remains scant information on rural low-income youth and their families. This study examines the salience of after-school programs for rural youth. Using an ecological framework, we assess changes in youth behavior and skill acquisition based on reports from 47 youth attending after-school programs in two rural communities, along with their primary caregivers and teachers. Results indicate enhanced life skills and social behaviors among youth attendees. Implications for future research, programming, and policymaking are discussed.

Cultivating Compassion And Youth Action Around The Globe: A Preliminary Report On Jane Goodall’S Roots & Shoots Program, Laura R. Johnson, Julie S. Johnson-Pynn Oct 2007

Cultivating Compassion And Youth Action Around The Globe: A Preliminary Report On Jane Goodall’S Roots & Shoots Program, Laura R. Johnson, Julie S. Johnson-Pynn

Journal of Youth Development

This paper describes a unique service-learning based environmental and humanitarian program for youth, The Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots and Shoots program (R&S). R&S aims to foster learning, personal growth and civic engagement among youth members through service activities and environmental education. Despite its promise as a youth development program and its rapid expansion into 100 countries, little is known about R&S’s impact on youth development. In this study, we explore R&S programs in China and Tanzania, two countries that are maximally different from the U.S. in important cultural and contextual factors. Through qualitative and quantitative methods we describe the programs, …

Developmentally-Responsive Relationships During After School, Dana R. Fusco Oct 2007

Developmentally-Responsive Relationships During After School, Dana R. Fusco

Journal of Youth Development

Research has shown that afterschool programs are effective in improving academic performance, helping children develop better work habits and social skills, reducing the likelihood of at-risk behaviors, and decreasing school-based crime. Many agree that such results would not be prominent if it weren’t for the supportive nature of children’s relationships with staff. This manuscript presents a theoretical understanding of the connection between relationships and human growth and development. Observations of outstanding youth workers will show how relationships are used to leverage the development of young people. The author also provides a model of adult-as-community-builder that elaborates the specific methods by …

Then set it aside and read To Understand Is To Invent, The Having of Wonderful Ideas (Duckworth) and Children and …
