Book excerpt: This publication is part of a series of tools and resources on financing and sustaining youth programming. These tools and resources are intended to help policymakers, program developers, and community leaders develop innovative strategies for implementing, financing, and sustaining effective programs and policies. This guide outlines strategies for gaining access to and using federal funds and provides information on 103 funding sources offering supports for youth programming. It includes well-known sources of funding for youth programming, for example, the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, the state grants program of the "Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act," and "Gang Resistance Education and Training." It also includes some often overlooked funding sources, such as the U.S. Department of Labor's Apprenticeship Program, which prepares young people for the workforce, or the Corporation for National Service's Learn and Serve America program, which emphasizes positive youth development through volunteer opportunities. Section I of this guide looks at the funding landscape for programs serving youth. It provides an overview of public and private investments in youth programming. It also outlines some of the key challenges facing policymakers and community leaders as well as factors affecting present and future investments in these initiatives. Section II describes the structure and requirements of the various federal funding mechanisms to fund youth programs. Section III introduces the framework The Finance Project used to guide its research on federal funding sources for youth programming. This section also analyzes the broad domains (e.g., youth programming services, supportive services for youth, and youth development system supports) used in the framework and provides examples of federal programs that can support activities in each domain. Section IV presents strategies for maximizing federal funds and building partnerships. This section highlights youth initiatives that have used creative financing strategies to support their programming and offers tips for accessing funds and implementing financing strategies. Section V contains a catalog of federal funding sources that can support youth programming. Each one-page summary describes the funding source and provides eligibility, application, and contact information. To help readers identify specific funding sources to support their initiative, each source is also categorized according to the particular activities or services it can fund. Appendix A lists the funding sources cataloged in Section V sorted by the federal agency administering the funding source. Appendix B displays the federal programs by funding type (e.g., entitlements, block grants, and discretionary grants). (Contains 15 footnotes.).

This book was released on 2002-02-12 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After-school programs, scout groups, community service activities, religious youth groups, and other community-based activities have long been thought to play a key role in the lives of adolescents. But what do we know about the role of such programs for today's adolescents? How can we ensure that programs are designed to successfully meet young people's developmental needs and help them become healthy, happy, and productive adults? Community Programs to Promote Youth Development explores these questions, focusing on essential elements of adolescent well-being and healthy development. It offers recommendations for policy, practice, and research to ensure that programs are well designed to meet young people's developmental needs. The book also discusses the features of programs that can contribute to a successful transition from adolescence to adulthood. It examines what we know about the current landscape of youth development programs for America's youth, as well as how these programs are meeting their diverse needs. Recognizing the importance of adolescence as a period of transition to adulthood, Community Programs to Promote Youth Development offers authoritative guidance to policy makers, practitioners, researchers, and other key stakeholders on the role of youth development programs to promote the healthy development and well-being of the nation's youth.

Download or read book Toward Positive Youth Development written by Marybeth Shinn and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-10 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social settings have enormous power to promote or hinder positive youth development. Researchers and practitioners know a great deal about features of schools and programs for youth that affect development, but much less about how to transform settings to bring about these desirable features. This book shows how to harness the power of settings. It shifts the debate from simply enhancing youth outcomes at the individual level to improving the settings of youths' daily lives. The book offers researchers and practitioners blueprints for creating and changing influential settings including classrooms, schools, universities, out-of-school time programs, ethnic systems of supplementary education, and other community-based programs. Leading scholars in psychology, education, human development, sociology, anthropology, economics, law, and public policy discuss a wide array of social change strategies, and describe how to measure key features of settings as a target and guide for change. The authors also demonstrate how larger social structures - such as school districts, community coalitions, community data resources - can support change. Many of the chapters describe ways to make settings work for all youth, including those marginalized by reason of race, ethnicity, social class, or sexual orientation. Toward Positive Youth Development will guide researchers, educators, administrators and policy makers to improve schools and youth programs for all of America's youth.
