Download or read book Sport for Development and Peace written by Simon Darnell and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. The role of sport in development initiatives has grown dramatically over the last five years, now finding a place in the UN's millennium development goals. In Sport and Development for Peace, Simon Darnell outlines the most recent sociological research on the role of sport in development initiatives. The book analyses the relationship between sport and international development and looks at what this reveals about socio-political economy. It addresses a gap in the literature by focusing on issues of politics, power and culture, particularly looking at volunteer experience, mega-sporting events and sporting celebrity in the context of development. Darnell questions the belief that sport can offer a 'solution' to enduring development issues. Drawing on the latest empirical research, the book is a thorough and timely analysis of the social and political implications of tying sport to development.

This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young adulthood - ages approximately 18 to 26 - is a critical period of development with long-lasting implications for a person's economic security, health and well-being. Young adults are key contributors to the nation's workforce and military services and, since many are parents, to the healthy development of the next generation. Although 'millennials' have received attention in the popular media in recent years, young adults are too rarely treated as a distinct population in policy, programs, and research. Instead, they are often grouped with adolescents or, more often, with all adults. Currently, the nation is experiencing economic restructuring, widening inequality, a rapidly rising ratio of older adults, and an increasingly diverse population. The possible transformative effects of these features make focus on young adults especially important. A systematic approach to understanding and responding to the unique circumstances and needs of today's young adults can help to pave the way to a more productive and equitable tomorrow for young adults in particular and our society at large. Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults describes what is meant by the term young adulthood, who young adults are, what they are doing, and what they need. This study recommends actions that nonprofit programs and federal, state, and local agencies can take to help young adults make a successful transition from adolescence to adulthood. According to this report, young adults should be considered as a separate group from adolescents and older adults. Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults makes the case that increased efforts to improve high school and college graduate rates and education and workforce development systems that are more closely tied to high-demand economic sectors will help this age group achieve greater opportunity and success. The report also discusses the health status of young adults and makes recommendations to develop evidence-based practices for young adults for medical and behavioral health, including preventions. What happens during the young adult years has profound implications for the rest of the life course, and the stability and progress of society at large depends on how any cohort of young adults fares as a whole. Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults will provide a roadmap to improving outcomes for this age group as they transition from adolescence to adulthood.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volunteers are critical to the success of the Florida 4-H youth development program. They broaden the scope of county programs and increase program capacity beyond what a single 4-H faculty member could provide. Because of the reliance on volunteers to deliver positive youth development programming, the overall success of the organization could depend on the level of training and support volunteers receive (Arnold and others, 2009). Volunteer development is part of the overall volunteer management system aimed at preparing volunteers for their roles and responsibilities. Those on-going activities could include orientation, supervision, relaying policies and procedures, training, support, feedback, recognition, and continual management (Kyrwood, and others, 2016; Plesak, date of publication not identified). While investing in volunteer development is expensive and time-consuming, it yields positive impacts related to the volunteer and within the organization (Manetti and others, 2015; Malinen and Harju, 2016; Boone and others, 2013). Conversely, when organizations fail to provide effective volunteer leadership or volunteer investment, volunteer satisfaction decreases and volunteers leave resulting in organizational losses (Radhakrishna and others, 2011). Skills and competencies youth development volunteers should possess have been both researched and established in current literature. They include communication, organizational, subject matter, relational, leadership, technology, time management, facilitation, and teaching skills as well as policy and procedural knowledge and skills directly related to their volunteer roles (Culp and others, 2007; Kok and others, 2020). While there is empirical research on volunteer skills, competencies, motivations, and organizational benefits, research examining the specific resource needs of volunteers is scarce. Thus, how adults learn in the workplace holds implications for volunteer development. Activities like group participation, observing others, working through tasks, and working directly with clients as well as resources like documents, manuals, mentoring, and coaching could assist volunteers with fulfilling their roles and responsibilities (Eraut and others, 2004). In addition, job aids, check lists, videos, and resource sharing could provide further resources for supporting volunteers (Moore and others, 2019). The purpose of this research study was to explore what current resources Florida 4-H provides for its volunteers and to describe the beliefs related to volunteer support between the two stakeholder groups, Florida 4-H volunteers and Florida 4-H faculty members, and how those beliefs might differ between the two groups. Four research questions guided this study: • Research Question 1: What resources does Florida 4-H provide for its volunteers? • Research Question 2: What resources do Florida 4-H volunteers identify as helpful in fulfilling their roles and responsibilities? • Research Question 3: What resources do Florida 4-H faculty members identify as helpful for volunteers to successfully fulfill their roles and responsibilities? • Research Question 4: How do the beliefs of Florida 4-H volunteers and Florida 4-H faculty members differ as related to resources helpful in successfully fulfilling volunteer roles and responsibilities? The study consisted of an online questionnaire and follow-up interviews with both Florida 4-H volunteers and 4-H faculty members. Survey respondents included 229 volunteers and 32 faculty members. Follow-up interviews were conducted one-on-one with 10 volunteers and 10 faculty members. The results of this study indicated that volunteer resources should be delivered using a wide variety of methods that directly support volunteer work. Resources are particularly needed that support the 4-H club and youth project work. For example, both volunteers and faculty cited a need for training related to parliamentary procedures and resources like checklists and manuals to support running 4-H club meetings. In addition, study results indicated facilitating, improving, and supporting communication between 4-H volunteers and 4-H faculty and 4-H volunteers and Florida 4-H. For example, the Florida 4-H website was identified as lacking in functionality and overall organizational support to volunteers and faculty which directly affected youth and parent stakeholders. Findings from this study could help to establish a framework for resource development to support the Florida 4-H volunteer development program.
