I am not sure what idea would be the best for the project with youth, but this is definetly the group I eould like to be apart of. But whatever it is that we decide as a group to do, I think it should have a lasting and motivating impact on our youth, of today!
I feel the same way i most definetly think that i would be able to make an impact on the younger crowd because i have been threw what their going threw.
Working with the youth has always been a passion of mine. After I graduate college, I hope to work more closely with the youth in general. The youth are our future leaders of tomorrow. And to do a final project geared towards adhering, to their needs, would benefit us the most. I have several ideas, but one sticks out more vividly than the others. I'm thinking we should do a teen summit in the ballroom. Tackling the issues of HIV/Aids, violence, peer pressure amongst other important issues. Through a hip hop forum, singing, dance, play, and spoken word. This way the teens can be entertained, and us as students could still get our message across. We could invite other Shaw Students to the event. As will raise a $1 or $2 and give to an organization of teens who are "at risk" but headed towards a "at success" future. Afterwards we than can serve some pizza and wings and mingle amongst one another. Like Jamal stated in his post last week. We can promote this event by printing flyers and passing them out around campus,and different middle and highschools in the area. Just and idea of mine, let me know what you guys think of it...
I think that tackling the youth movement would be pretty interesting way to conclude the class.I think that there are a number of things going on like gang violence, peer pressure, and drug use. Teenage years are some of the most critical times in one's life. There is alot of confusion, and a sense of entitlement to many privileges. We often like to judge teens, I think we should somehow some way tap into these young teenagers minds and see what exactly makes them do the things they do, and offer a positive perspective rather than sending a judgemental gist.
Helping children no matter what age is my passion, I love kids because they always have something to new to say or do. There minds are always wondering and as soon as they become teenagers, instead of wondering they start doing something about it. I feel like this project for the youth is the best one for me, I would love to see a group of youth having fun and learning something from us.
One can never go wrong by helping the youth. Many times people complain about the youth but never lift a finger to help the youth. Even if this project only saves one or two,thats three less youth adults caught on the wrong side of life. We should come up with a plain that will help youth now and the days to come. We could have a youth shaw day where we have games, workshops on life, aids, drug etc.
I would to work with the youth i was thinking a workshop on HIV/AIDS as well as drugs or maybe a workshop on gangs...lets leave them with a impression that lives are prescious and they can do anything they put their mind to they just have to stay positve and move and the right direction
I love helping people...it makes me feel great inside knowing that i have helped someone rather it's sitting their being a silent ear or a voice to speak bck to....i too think this is a great project to do...like Janella said our youth is our future we have to keep them living to see tomorrow...like someone did for us
My sentiments exactly, and as i said before we could also incorporate the domestic violence in there as well,often times young girls think it is ok that the boy grabs or hits them,(he loves me) hear it everyday at work,and it is not, we don't want them to think it is ok, or a pattern because, maybe mom let it happen to her. And the young men need to attatch their aggression to something besides snatching up on some girl, to look cool, or because he doesn't know how to control his temper.
I strongly believe that the project for the youth would be a majpr influence for the youth in the sorrounding community. Many youth in today's world do not have many positive role models that they can look up to. Being that the youth is the future of tomorrow, this project wolud be a major positive influence on the youth in the community. snoop
I believe this is an important project because i remember when i was younger i was always looking up to the older group. When i was in 1st and 2nd grade i looked up to the 6th graders. When i was in 7th and 8th i looked up to the high school kids, and finally when i was in high school i looked up to the college kids. I learned they could be a positive or negative effect on someones life. I think we as a class could make that positive impact on someone's life.
Talking to teens will be great but we must all rember that we were once at that age so we should talk with them and get feed back on thier everyday life. because to understand someone u must know thier struggle.
I think working with the youth would be a great idea...letting them be around and interact with positive young college students could give them a better outlook on going to college than what is being given to them...letting then know that going to school and making good grades is the thing to do...sepecially the young boys...some really need an influence on how to become an effective young adult...so we could just give them an overall better understanding of life in college
crystal not shuting yiu down but if you want to do domestic violence you should not only tell the girls but the guys as well they do too get abuse thats something the domestic violence crew can work on.
as far as everyone else we need to come to a descision and figure out what we going to talk to the youth about im not sure if yall did it in class but someone feed me in please....
I really think this is a great idea, working with our future leaders of tomorrow. Gang prevention is a passion of mine. Helping them to stay away from gangs, because they are growing in large numbers. The staying safe with sex is also very important. Encouraging them to become powerful adults in the political arena is also a good concept. This is the group that I would love to work with.
