Welcome Youth Workers! This is a blog about youth work, and the dedicated folks who comprise the field: youth workers. We will discuss salient issues in youth work particularly as it relates to the Principles of Youth Work class offered at Penn Valley in Spring 2006. Okay, let's have some fun and blog way!
We recently visited 3 different places: Plaza branch, Kansas City Public Library, Kansas City Zoo and Thornberry Unit, Boys and Girls Club. If we use the two categories youth development organization and organziation that develops youth development, how would you classify the three sites. Give the specific criteria by which you made your decision.

It was interesting to hear your initial feedback about the library and its ability to be a locus for youth development. Now that you've had some time to think about it, what about the Plaza Branch Library makes it an effective place for youth development? Use specific examples to support your case. Remember, it is not a youth development organization (we're not having this conversation again, right Sharday?), rather, an organization that supports youth development.

Two things need to happen for the March 22 class. First, you need to come to class with your essay questions completed. Second, you need to visit this website: http://www.literacyworks.org/mi/assessment/findyourstrengths.html. Take the assessment online, print it out and bring it to class so that we can talk about how this relates to youth work.

I've received this e-mail from several class members. Could someone please answer this question, what was the assignment for class this week?

If you are having difficulty finding any youth policy regarding young people on the national, state or local level, what does that say about our (society's) regard for young people?

So, fellow Americans, what are your initial reactions to the President's State of the Union Address? Here are some questions to get you started, if you need them: what did he say that caught your attention? What do you most disbelieve? How much of a priority are young people in the President's agenda.
