...PATHFINDER CLUB What is the Pathfinder Club History of Brooklyn Faith Knights Club Mission Statement Our Motto Goals and Objective Club Schedule Program Schedule Other Activities WHAT IS THE PATHFINDER CLUB? The Pathfinder Club is a church-centered spiritual-recreational-activity based program which provides an outlet for the spirit of adventure and exploration that is found in every junior youth. This includes carefully tailored activities in outdoor living, nature exploration, crafts, hobbies, or vocations beyond the possibilities in an average Adventist Junior Youth Society. It is filled with action, adventure, challenge, group activities, and provides opportunities for the development of new activities and skills that produce personal growth, team or community spirit and a sense of loyalty and respect for God, His creation, and His Church. With this given setting, spiritual emphasis is well received, and the Pathfinder Club has well demonstrated its soul winning influence. In many local churches Pathfinder Clubs have replaced the traditional Adventist Junior Youth society, and where there is a church school the Pathfinder Club should supplement the work of the Adventist Junior Youth Society. Pathfinders in ActionA sampling of activities in the Pathfinder Club includes camporees, fairs, craft study, nature exploration, Bible Study, witnessing projects, field trips, and many other interesting adventures. Youth from ages 10-15 (and older) are eligible...

...OK. Another problem of young people is drugs. This is a relatively new problem but it is becoming more and more dangerous. Million young people today are using drugs, and most of them will die. Usually they want just to try it , then again and again … and after year may be two years they will die . It is true. Because there are no medicine to help you. That’s why never do it, if you do - it goes bad, very bad. I think that police must work hard to protect young people from drugs. Because drugs will kill our young generation and our future will be very bad. PROBLEMS OF UNEMPLOYMENT OF YOUNG PEOPLE.

Involving more extra curriculum activities B. Parent and families making a difference IV. Bully and Victim A. Statistic of being bullied B. What is being bullied? V. Conclusion Learning about Youth Violence Youth violence is a serious issue in today’s world. Youth violence is on the rise throughout the world. These violent acts are being done daily in schools around the world. Numerous factors are involved when it comes to youth violence. The top three reasons are peer pressure, parental violence, and being bullied and victimized. Youth peer pressure is one of the most frequently referred to forms of negative and positive peer pressure. It is particularly common because most young people spend large amounts of time in fixed groups (school and subgroups within them) regardless of their opinion of those groups. Peer pressure can be beneficial depending on the teen friends. While it is true that teens start spending more time with their friends and are influenced by these peers through peer pressure, parents need to remember one simple truth: your teen will never forget the values you have given him. Still...

...Youth workers’ work is very diverse because it depends on the settings, the population and the ages. However, the goals are the same which they are for the benefits of youths. Youth work should have an impact on young people’s lives via processes of developments, enjoyments, taking parts voluntary, with relevant learnings based on young people’s expressed needs and interests. The work with young people is very challenging because they are apprentice adults, on the verge of a new life and the workers are the trainer teaching them the skills needed to become qualified adults or fully functioning. For me, I work with immigrant youth and their families. The major goal is to help them adjust to America’s life. The paths to the goals are so difficult for us and for them because they didn’t come to this country by choice but they were obligated by their families whom are escaping from wars. By transitioning from country to another, this generation has faced many pressures, has experience discomforting confusion, disquieting irritations and perplexities. We find the adjustment to be difficult socially and economically. They have to be engaged into a new world including new friends, new neighbors, new schools, new languages and new environments. They had to flee to another country to refuge while waiting for the welcoming approval by the US. Some families they had waited for years before they came to America. They waited between five and nine. I will describe my work and the dilemmas...

...for school students. They are activities which all school students must attend alongside the standard study curriculum. In Singapore, the policy was introduced by the Ministry of Education, which believe extra activities for school students are a means to enhance social interaction, leadership, healthy recreation, self-discipline and self-confidence. At higher levels of education, CCA participation may even translate into academic points. The scope of CCAs is wide due to a nearly inexhaustible list of interests. Some of the major groups include Computer Club, Art Club, Dance Club, Swimming, Basketball and Photography Club. Uniformed groups include the St. John Ambulance Brigade (SJAB), Red Cross, Military Band, The Singapore Scout Association, Girl Guides Singapore, National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) and National Cadet Corps (NCC). Performing arts groups are also included, with Chinese Orchestra, choirs, bands and Dance Clubs among such CCAs. CCAs are held outside standard curriculum hours and the activities partaken depend on the nature of CCA. For example, Uniformed groups do foot drills and team-building exercises while competitive sportsmen spend most of the time training and learning techniques from their instructors. In the first year, the students are required to pick one or more interest group to join. While the choices available to students differ from school to school, there are national requirements for the...

...Maureen Belcher January 2015 ELA-3 Opinion Editorial John Wooden once said, “Never mistake activity for achievement.” Many people believe that youth sports are too dangerous for children to play but most kids that play sports benefit in a healthy way. Youth sports help kids make good life decisions and can also help with social skills, helping them later in later future events. Britt Hallingberg, a scientist at Cardiff University, claimed, “Many youth people benefit from participating in fun, structured activities out of school.” This claim shows that sports can be healthy for you and your social life in and out of school. John Wooden, UCLA Basketball Coach also said, “Playing youth sports creates higher grades, high self-esteem, stronger...

...The story I chose to summarize is “Farm Girl” by Jessica Hemauer; which she writes as a narrative essay. I believe that Hemauer told her story to let the reader know how she grew up as a child on a farm; that while it was hard work, it does pay off in the end. She realized that hard work can teach responsibility, time management, and can be used in every aspect of life. I believe her audience for the paper was youth; someone who could take away that while life is hard you can learn from it and be successful. At first, it seemed like such a difficult life for a young person to have. But by the end of the story I had changed how I felt. She did have a hard life at a young age, but she learned from it and used it in every step of life. While most people her age were still struggling to manage their lives, she learned early what she needed to do to manage her own. Jessica and her siblings had a very strict upbringing. Although “there was no sense complaining,” (Hemauer, 2011) the farm was the most important thing and the everyday routine was something that had to be done. Having to wake up at five in the morning and complete farm chores with her siblings before school while her peers are still sleeping in their warm beds. Not being able to have a social life within the school or with her peers. The cows had to be fed; however, the equipment used to milk the cows had to be sterilized before every use. The one thing that Jessica enjoyed the most was feeding the newborn calves...

...I first became interested in Computers and Information technology at quite a young age, I would love to get new software and install and then try and figure out how it worked by myself. Any problems that ever occurred on the computer would always offer a challenge and I loved just sitting down and figuring out what the problem was no matter how small the problem was. In all years right up to third year at school the subject of ICT was compulsory, these three years gave basic understanding of Word documents, Spreadsheets, PowerPoint and so on. I choose to carry on ICT as one of my GCSE’s, simply because I wanted to get a greater understanding in Computers. GCSE in ICT was a lot more applied in forth year and fifth year, it involve:- Advanced Spreadsheets, Databases, Advanced PowerPoint, Looking into the hardware of computers, etc. I am a determined and trustworthy student, I aim to work hard and achieve the highest grade that I possibly can. Currently, I am studying a National Diploma for I.T. Practitioners at The Northern Regional College in Coleraine. This course is all based on computers and involves subjects like Multimedia, Website Design, Systems Analysis and Design etc. We have also had the opportunity of taking apart and reassembling a PC. I find this learning experience fun and challenging. I wish to further my studies by going to University to Study Computer Science. I am also a member of the “Technical Team” in my church. As a team, we have to...

...approach funding is usually by the government. Organisations such as Sports England are a good example that is funded by the DCMS, which are primarily funded by the government. Within sports, National Governing Bodies (NGB’s) are funding organisations such as Sports England as a strategy to grow, sustain and excel networks of community clubs, coaches and volunteers (Sport England, 2011). NGB’s are an important factor in how a sports partnership will run. Like all other organizations these national governing bodies (NGBs) operate in an ever changing environment and require effective systems of governing to defend against any unfairly allocated funds, as well as ensuring the long-term sustainability and strength of their sport (Taylor, M. O’Sullivan, N., 2009). There is always an importance in sport for there to be strong and productive grassroots and school participation. Although, recently there have been reductions in funding, on a national and an international level. Grassroots sports and young communities are primarily financed by local authorities. The trend in some countries is that local authorities reduce their efforts to support local clubs, to finance sport facilities and other recreations, they tend to cancel or postpone expenses, because they have other priorities. In grassroots sports it is a common trend for all sport organisations at international level for the withdrawal of private partners. National governments sometimes have to cut down...

...Age and youth representation in the McDonald’s advert Parallel Lives In the McDonald’s advert parallel lives age and youth are represented in both stereotypical and different ways. The aim of the advert is to show that even though people appear to have completely different lives everyone has something in common E.g. McDonalds. When the audience are first introduced to the “youth”, loud RnB music as diegetic sound and then becomes diegetic sound when close up of the youths shown. The youths are also hanging around with a group of friends, commonly known as a gang. The gang is out on the streets. This is implying that it is common for teenagers to hang around on the streets, playing music and disturbing others. They are wearing dark colours for example black, maroon, dark brown and dark blue while also wearing hoodies. Their trousers are hanging low, resulting in their pants being on display. From using these conventions, McDonalds are giving a stereotypical representation of teenagers-loud, a disturbance and also not being able to dress properly. Whereas the older man is on his own. This is implying that it is common for the older generation to be on their own, perhaps being lonely. He wears neutral colours like creams, beige, and brown, grey and tan. He is wearing his trousers up to his waist and also wearing braces to help keep them up. In addition to this, he is wearing his jacket over his coat. Overall this is suggesting that older people dress completely covered up with...

...Narcissism 1. The phrase narcissism comes from the story of the man Narcissus, “a handsome young youth who falls hopelessly in love with his own reflection in a pool of water” (p. 2, l. 32). As the social critic Christopher Lacsh theorised, every generation reproduces its culture, the individual, in the form of personality. Today we are living in a world of New Narcissism. Not only are we narcissistic – we now have the social medias and Internet as remedies of self-promotion. Being an individual in a culture filled with love for celebrity, we find interest in some originally uninteresting things, such as which meals are included in a celebrity’s diet. It is therefore easier to deceive our minds in to thinking, that such insignificant bit of information about ourselves is in fact significant to the rest of the world. It is difficult to be yanked out of the hands of narcissism, as no one on the Internet bothers to inform one, that all of this information is of no matter. And maybe we enjoy watching and reading all of this triviality, because it reflects the reproduction of our culture and therefore also the individual. 2. The articles “Student narcissism on the rise” by Janice McDuffee and “Do Today’s Young People Really Think They Are So Extraordinary?” by Catherine West hold two mutually contradictory statements. As it appears from the title, the first article states, that the youths are products of increased self-enhancement and self-involvedness. The harm of this is expressed...

...The organization I chose volunteer for is the League of Women Voters of California. The league is an organization for both men and women that strives for participation in government. What sets them apart is their goal of encouraging people to make informed and educated decisions. The League of Women Voters is non-partisan and does not support any particular political part or candidate. When I contacted the local office I was told by Cheryl, the woman who oversaw my volunteering, that they needed a makeover for their brochure and flyer. This brochure was extremely outdated and needed a serious overhaul. In conjunction with a classmate, I redesigned the brochure to give it a more modern appearance making it more eye catching in hopes of creating more league memberships and provoking more donations. I would have to say this became my main goal of my volunteering experience. Although I was asked that the writing on the brochure went unchanged I wanted to do redesign the graphics and layout of the brochure to make is more interesting and readable. In a way I feel like the hard work I put into the brochure would strengthen and increase the growth of the league. The second piece I worked on with my classmate was the organizations flyer. The flyer was essentially of form that people could use to join the League of Women Voters or simply enclose a donation and at the same time give a little information about the group. In both the brochure and flyer color played an important...

...an elite performer. It includes four different sections; -The Foundation stage At this stage sport practisers are classed as novices, where the achievement and learning of basic skills and techniques are achieved. A scheme run by the government which helps to widen the amount of children participating in sport is called the 5x60 scheme. -The participation stage This stage consists of anyone who participates in sport regularly, for reasons such as socialising, health or fitness or enjoyment, to develop their skills in an activity. -The performance stage The Performance level consists of anyone involved in sport who aims to improve their skills. A participant will show commitment to help perfect their skills and they will be at a club or regional standard. -The elite stage Consists of skilled performers who aim to achieve set standards that are measurable usually through competition. Activities at Excellence level usually have rewards that motivate the individual, such as trophies or money. At each stage of the sports development continuum there are different factors which can sometimes prevent and hold back individuals from participating in sport, these are known as ‘barriers to participation’. Some examples of these would be as below, each of which will be...
