...you to show that love to others. Showing gratitude and joy as we go about our daily routines makes life worth living. If it is the connection that defines our purpose we should stay positively connected for life. For life…in order to live. As we need air to breathe we need connections to love. Again loving ourselves first and allowing that love to radiate through and around our being, making connections along the way. In the field as a youth worker this can be transferred by bringing your highest self to the experience when working with the youth.

...Restorative Essay Jess Gjerkes Restorative and diversion programs have been used in Australia since the late 19th century around the same time that the children's court was first established. These programs are designed and put in place to help heal, give closure and guide a young person back onto the right track. Diversion and restorative programs work in parallel with youth work, which will be discussed within this essay through looking at what restorative justice and restorative programs entail, diversion programs, the strengths of diversion and restorative programs, and the links between diversion, restorative justice and youth work. (Ted Watchel 2012) Restorative justice itself is a social science and primarily focuses on reducing crime, improving human behaviours, restoring relationships and repairing harm, restorative justice looks at how crime doesn't only affect the victim but the offender and the community as well, restorative justice focuses on the offender taking responsibility for their actions and wrongdoings and trying to make amends with the victim and their community. This is done through restorative and diversion programs which focus on and are used for conflict resolution between all parties and to try to repair the harm that has been caused. (Lecture slides week two, 2015) An example of restorative justice would be if...

...he did not score. The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth answered "none" The director asked, "Was it your father who paid for your school fees?" The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees. The director asked "Where did your mother work?" The youth answered, "My mother worked as clothes cleaner. The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect. The director asked," Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?" The youth answered, "Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me. The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.

...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 to become members of the Pathfinder Club through a special induction ceremony. The triangular emblem has been adopted internationally even though there is sometimes a change in the name...

...Youth sports in many countries help develop some of the greatest athletes in the world. Joining a youth sport program, whether male or female, will define a young person for life. But do youth sports only affect the child? Having a child in a youth sport program shapes and defines the entire family surrounding that individual. Once a child is in youth sports, the program will begin to take shape in the entire family’s life. It all begins with putting a child into a sport. This is usually derived from a sport where the parent(s) has an interest “With regard to sport, parents typically make the initial decision to enroll their children (Howard & Madrigal, 1990) and have a significant impact on many of the positive outcomes of their child's sport participation (Horn & Harris, 1996). For example, a child's initial perceived sport competence, a key factor for enduring involvement and enjoyment in sport for young children, is derived from two sources: successful task completion and parent perception of sport ability (Horn & Harris, 1996).” (kanters, m. (2002, december). parents and youth sports. parks and recreation, 37.12(), 20-28.) Many thanks do go out to the parents and families that work with the youth of particular youth program. Some in part to the dedication the families put into the kids going to the games and practices. Some in part to the extra time put into raising money, working events, and all the other matters that go into the programs. One of the things...

...helping these teenagers with pregnancy and sexual health would be a global organization that can help because they have resources all over the country and in other countries as well. There are organizations that travel and offer scholarships to their young advocates so they may be able to continue the work, or even continue to lead a productive life, which they may have not been able to do under difference circumstances. There are local agencies that will offer childcare for teen mothers, and there are even some communities that will provide childcare in the schools so they can continue their education. The advocates can petition for the schools to teach sex education and health facts. Globally know organizations can do that because their resources and connections are wide spread and they have high contributors. Advocate for Youth is an organization that advocates heavily for the youth of today. They assist with education, teen pregnancy, infections, and they also help young adults with personal issues they may have. This organization takes in donations by phone, email, mail, and anyway possible to help the cause. They are not just stationed in one state they assist the youth in...

The idea it to show teens what mindfulness is, a term the author said he did not like until he fully understood it. Teens do not notice the noise in their lives. The electronic hum is never ending. Every aspect of their lives involves some electronic device, some social platform, some other thing to distract. With no time to unplug teens become stressed out. They have school, friends, home life, and other things to deal with all with their own unique set of problems. This lack of silence interferes with teens developing a scene of being comfortable with themselves....

...the overview of our democracy. In countries such as UK has established commissions such as The Youth Citizenship commission to ensure that young people are reengaged in political process. In order to support the motion , mostly in federal elections the youth aged 18-24 years do not vote thus need to advocate for lowering of the voting age from 21 years to at least 18 years so that to engage youth in politics. Engaging youth in politics through allowing them to vote when they are as young as eighteen years could encourage them to serving citizens. This also could help in making politicians be accountable young voters as the count for their success. In addition many nations have lowered the voting age such as Brazil and Nicaragua and have experienced advantages of lower voting without any limitations. Local and state government’s decision affect young people thus it is important to help them have a voice over these decisions. This can only be enhanced through giving them the right to vote for their leaders. Since youth below the age of 18 years work and they are taxed they should be allowed to vote and be in a position to monitor the accountability of their leaders. It can be so unfair for youths to pay taxes while the do not have representation in the government who can address their problems. In addition, lowering the voting age would play a major role in encouraging the youth to vote even when they are older. Making them part of...

...crime is largely a product of unfavorable conditions in certain communities. These unfavorable conditions in certain communities lead to a high degree of “high school dropouts, unemployment, deteriorating infrastructures, and single-parent homes.” Social disorganization wants to pinpoint street crime at the neighborhood level. Social disorganization is blaming the environment surrounding youths for corruption. Individuals suffer from growing in communities that is filled with crime. People constantly speak about how growing up in Brooklyn and Compton gun shots can be heard every night. A young individual hearing gun shots or seeing a dead body in the street get traumatized. Youths at a young age who believe he or she needs to protect him or herself do not lean on parents or law enforcement. These youths turn to strangers or weapons. A teenager who sees a dead body in the street believes he or she should get a gun to protect him or herself. Social disorganization relates to organize crime and its evolution by social disorganization originating it. Social disorganization is the beginning of youths resulting...

...living room and watch TV. We all saw the news, where the focus was all the riots, about how they were destroying the shops, we all wonder, why? In my opinion it is unemployment – the youth are bored and disillusioned. Cause the percent for unemployed in UK is going down, and for that the young people without job are now saying stop, they want more jobs, and so they can earn money to live for and to provide their family. The prime minister says that there is something wrong with our society in UK. But how do we know that the young people not only are doing this for the free stuff and money, but for the chance to prove their government wrong about their statement. It is the young unemployed people that started the riots. If we ask our society what cause the problem we will answer: The kill of Marc Duggan, who is a young man who was shoot by the police without any reason of his death, this touch a lot of the people in UK. It started with this peaceful protest, but it took over. The people who were on the streets had nothing to do with the killing of Mark Duggan. It is the people that not have money to provide for themselves and their families, to take an education and after getting a good job, that are among the riots. The schools in UK are costing too much, and that’s results that many youth not going. This is of cause an important factor, but it is not the only reason, it is a combination of people being angry about the growing unemployment and inequality here in...
