Youth Service America's (YSA), YSA's National Youth Council (NYC) and

Message-ID: <49CD6331.00000D.06264@DEN>
Hi Everyone!
I know you haven't heard from me for awhile. I always come back to you when
I am struggling with something! ;) That's because I trust you and
appreciate your input. =
Those of you who know me, know that I am in touch with today's generation. =
You know that I am an advocate of youth as well as young adults. =
This semester I am teaching an undergraduate research class of 153
undergraduate seniors in allied health majors. I am appalled at the number
of them that feel entitled, are dishonest, cheat, etc. There are some that
are great but way too many have tried to take advantage of the size of the
class and simply don't seem to think twice about lying, cheating, being rude
etc. My expectations were clearly laid out. I take my role very seriously
and go out of my way to provide a variety of learning opportunities and
creative ways of doing so. I challenge them but am also very fair and
supportive. They are well aware (at least at this point) that I am not a
naive individual, nor one that is going to ignore irresponsible behavior.
I am aware that these are not unique concerns in higher education today. I
also am aware of the various speculations as to why students behave this way
I am very concerned about what that means for them and their (and our)
futures. And, unfortunately, I view the reinforcement of such behaviors as
I observe the environment my 17 year old son is growing up in (especially in
sports). =
As we near the end of the semester I feel a need to share my perceptions and
concerns. It's not my nature to let these things go. I feel a
responsibility. At the same time, what is it I say and how do I say it?! =
Obviously I would want to begin by reinforcing those that have been
responsible and shown character, respect, and integrity. =
As a side note...I must add an interesting observation...many of the young
women are of special concern. =
Any input would be appreciated! Thanks! Colleen Mahoney

Framework for Projects Addressing Childhood Obesity
Message-ID: <7614416899B7784A89B95D7F7F517E51CF646D@PROJECTSRVR.ysa.lan>
In order to address the growing childhood obesity epidemic, Youth Service A=
merica (YSA) and UnitedHealth Group are supporting youth-led projects that =
focus on healthy lifestyles by awarding the UnitedHealth HEROES service-lea=
rning grants and publishing an educational guide to help young people and e=
ducators develop service-learning activities in their own communities.
Naming children and youth as 'first responders' to this national crisis, HE=
ROES grants challenge youth to find solutions to a crisis that directly aff=
ects them. 109 youth-led projects in 15 states received grants that address=
the childhood obesity epidemic through direct action, such as providing ex=
ercise opportunities to children in lower grades; indirect action, such as =
researching diabetes and its causes and educating peers; and advocacy effor=
ts, such as petitioning the school board to offer healthier cafeteria menu =
items. Learn more about the projects planned by the 109 grantees at: http:=
//ysa.org/AwardsGrants/UnitedHealthHEROES/UnitedHealthHEROES2009/tabid/344/=
Default.aspx =
"We believe that as people become more aware of health issues through healt=
h literacy and advocacy initiatives they will make positive changes to live=
better lives," said Rick Jelinek, CEO of AmeriChoice, a UnitedHealth Group=
company. "We believe the UnitedHealth HEROES grants will empower teams of =
students to collaborate with teachers and community leaders to develop thei=
r own awareness programs that will make their schools and neighborhoods hea=
lthier. In reviewing the grant applications, we were inspired by the creati=
ve ideas our young people came up with to help fight obesity and encourage =
healthier living."
The HEROES service-learning projects are being implemented during the sprin=
g semester and will culminate on the 21st annual Global Youth Service Day (=
GYSD), April 24-26, 2009. YSA and UnitedHealth Group will offer a second ro=
und of UnitedHealth HEROES service-learning grants on August 1, 2009 for pr=
ojects occurring during the 2009-2010 school year. http://www.ysa.org/awar=
ds
In addition to the HEROES grants, YSA and UnitedHealth Group also published=
"First Responders: Youth Addressing Childhood Obesity Through Service-Lear=
ning". This free, online guide, developed in collaboration with UnitedHealt=
hcare, is an excellent resource for educators, service-learning coordinator=
s, and students of medicine to develop effective obesity-related service-le=
arning projects that allow children and youth to plan and implement service=
or advocacy projects that link to school curricula and education standards=
. Download the =93First Responders=94 Guide at: http://tools.ysa.org/downl=
