Organizations

i want to organise a ‘The Apprentice-style’ project for a youth organisation over the summer however I need lots ideas on what tasks I should set them and what the main prize should be.

well there was one time in primary school where we were set into groups of 5-6 and we were given a selected number of straws a few strips of sticky tape at a certain length and a piece of paper. and the task was too create a model of a bridge, which would be placed between the back of two chairs, capable of holding a 1 pound of weight.
This task would enable you to see who works well in a team who uses the most of what they have.

Which was most important to win the support of Germans: propaganda, economic policies or youth organisations AND WHY?

Thanks in advance.

Propaganda affects the most people in the shortest time. Youth groups are propaganda, but they take years to have an effect before the Hitler youth grow up to adulthood. Previous failed economic policies were the key to the rise of Naziism, but once they came to power, their economic policies didn’t change the standard of living for Germans that much. Most money went to the war effort.

The most effective tool to gain the support of Germans was gaining control of all media and then telling the same lie over and over again.

Another part of the propaganda engine was to unite the population against a common enemy. Germans were told that the source of their economic problems were the Jews. Similarly, the people were told that they were a superior race. Anything that unites a people against a common enemy can only be good for the party in power.

This technique has been used countless times in history and even in very recent history if you think about it. If you tell the people the same story over and over again, it becomes an accepted and unquestioned fact. Can you think of any possible examples of mass propaganda?

Hi I am wanting to go on a study trip for my career. I’m 27 male and have been working within the youth work industry within Australia for the past 10 years.

I’ve been to the UK and seen what they have to offer and now I would like to see how services for youth are delivered within USA. I’ve worked within youth drop in services and am currently a case manager for young people within the school system. I’m very happy to work for free and pay for airfare as long as someone can put me up with accommodation but I would help out with food cost. I would be looking to stay for 1 to 2 weeks and not really fussed which part of the country your organisation is based as long as there is a major airport near by and its with youth. Places/states that I would like to based in include Texas, New York City or L.A. but as mentioned before wouldn’t really care were i ended up.

I have child-protection checks and references.

Contact me if you can help

I am a college student working with an org. called No Youth Left Behind Foundation of America,we are primarily based in sacramento, ca and I am working to get other studentsin my community and across the country to join our cause in helping raise funds and awareness to at-risk youth in society. our org. is student run and we want to work with or gain new members that are also students. does anyone know what websites or locals to reach these students from??

Have you looked up on the internet other agencies or clubs doing the same thing?

I work at OU in Oklahoma and could put a flyer up for you if you would like?

locations of chapters and locations they work in would also be very helpful
any kind of emergency services that accept volunteers are also helpful

From the Red Cross website:

How are young people involved in disaster relief operations?

All components of the Disaster Services Program, from planning to response, offer opportunities for youth involvement. During a disaster relief operation, youth are most frequently involved in damage assessment, mass care (feeding and shelter programs), and family service. Youth can also be involved in all aspects of large-scale (national) disaster relief operations on the local level.

Also, you can go to this website and enter your city and state and check emergency and safety and teens and any opportunities near you will come up. When I tried it for my location 2 things for the Red Cross came up. Of course the amount and types of opportunities available will depend on where you live.

Or do you think they’re not a part of that, since they don’t really want to have sex with anyone? They can still fall in love the same as any gay, straight or bisexual person, the only difference is that they don’t want to have sex. (And in a lot of cases, the gender that they fall in love with is irrelevant.)

Fascinating.

Well, heck, why not? Most gay male youth, for example, have no more especially in common with lesbians and transexuals than with straight people, and yet there they all are. We’re the TOLERANT people.

I want to volunteer abroad, and have found some organizations. But how do I know if they are reputable? How do I know they won’t just take my money and run? How do I know I will be safe? I don’t know anyone else who has done something like this, so I have no one to ask!

I am particularly interested in joining youth challenge international. www.yci.org. Does anyone know anything about this organzation? Anyone have any tips for me as to how I can figure out which organizations are legit?

You can call the better business bureau (BBB) and see if they have any information on them. Also if you’re a college student visit you international studies or study abraod office and inquire with them…even if you’re not a college student you can visit your local public unversity and they will have tons of information on abroad organizations! Good Luck

We are hosting an ad campaign for an ELCA National Youth Gathering Event this summer in New Orleans and are seeking donations to raise money for the charitable causes this organiuzation supports. We are a Lutheran Church. What we need are good little catchy slogans to get people to donate. It’s a weird question, but gimme what ya got!
Some donation areas include, Literacy, Health and Wellness, Environmental services and Housing

*See the future through kid’s eyes
*God supports those who support others
*Tomorrow id their future
*Together, We unite as one
*You can change a life with ELCA
*Everyone Loves Care and Attention (ELCA).Give it to those who need it most

It would keep the same name, but be like "young blank" or "blank youth in action"

whats a better way to phrase it?

I like the last option better because it has the action part in it. It sounds stronger when it shows that something is happening.

I just got a clerical job for a youth counseling center and in the list of job duties it has some acroynms. TFC parent. I think it means theraputic foster care. Also email to appropriate ARC? Also does anyone know who OFMQ is?ILS issues? BLS times and recreation? DPS records for TFC family? Also aside from all these acroynms do you have any advice for me. I have never worked in a counseling center so I don’t know anything about it. I have alittle office work in my background thats it. To anyone who has worked in an office like this they know you get audited like twice a year it’s alot of work. Do you think someone with little office experience and no college education can sustain this job?

Therapeutic Foster Care seems to fit. If you don’t know these acronyms, ask someone at your work and write them down. You just got hired on, no one expects you to know everything. Just say, "Hey, I would love to do this job, but I don’t know what these abbreviations stand for." They will help you out, not fire you. You are being honest and asking for help, and your employer will appreciate that.
