Publication Number 350-801, September 1999 Introduction The Study Youth At Risk Projects Funded 1991-1996: 2 1/2 years post USDA Funding Summary ... The Children, Youth And Families At Risk National Initiative Because sustainability is multifaceted, the approach reflected in our study is ecological and takes into consideration individuals, families, programs, and communities. Consequently, across the various analyses, elements of each of them are addressed, and where possible the interrelationships between them are discussed. It is our assumption that sustainability cannot be fully understood without knowing how individuals, families, programs, and communities influence one another, in both positive and negative ways; moreover, we assume that each of these elements has a unique contribution to sustainability. As examples, community support for a program emerges from individuals and families, structural aspects of the community (such as public transportation) can encourage or impede program access, and whether a program is consonant with community needs will affect its own success.

In the past two decades, women have assumed prominent leadership roles in business, education, sports, religion, medicine -you name it. They decide, or help to decide, what happens to a large portion of our wealth. Unfortunately, that leadership has not transferred to the area of giving. The Women's Leadership Circle will call women at leadership in every walk of life to take their place in the forefront of this most important community arena-charitable giving. The heart is already there. The organization will add the leadership, commitment and action." Did you know ... In 2001 (the most recent data), there were 2,561 confirmed cases of child abuse and neglect in the 8-county region served by the United Way of Northeast Georgia. Of all the159 counties in Georgia, Barrow County had the highest rate of confirmed abuse and neglect, and Clarke County had the sixth-highest rate. There are 9,963 children living in poverty in the United Way of Northeast Georgia counties and 16,362 children (38.27% of all children in the coverage area) are eligible to receive free or reduced lunches.

Held in cooperation with state library agencies and local literacy organizations from seven states, the workshops in Jackson, Miss. (Sept. 9-10) and Albuquerque, N.M. (Sept. 16-17) launched the new Viburnum Foundation/Center for the Book Family Literacy Project (see the LC Information Bulletin, May 1998.) "More than 75 people participated in each workshop, and we were delighted with the results," said Center for the Book Director John Y. Cole. "Special thanks go to Center for the Book consultant Virginia Mathews, the workshop coordinator, and to the Mississippi Library Commission and the New Mexico State Library for their support. The three-year grant we received from the Viburnum Foundation for this project, coming on the heels of the successful completion of our five-year Library-Head Start-Museum partnership project, continues the center's interest in family literacy and in encouraging collaboration on behalf of books and reading among libraries and other community organizations that serve children, youth and families."
Extractions: 649-398-445 (Barcelona) Researchers funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) are training parents to teach their young children the knowledge and skills needed to protect themselves from HIV infection. Parents are often uncertain about how to begin talking with their children about HIV/AIDS, but research shows that education must begin early. When their peers begin to pressure them to engage in high-risk behaviors, children must have the knowledge and skills to choose healthy behaviors instead. Educating the parents about the disease and helping them practice parent-child communication techniques empowers them to decide how and when to increase their children's knowledge and decrease their unrealistic worries about HIV/AIDS.

Key Word: Early Head Start Grants INFORMATION MEMORANDUM TO: Head Start Grantees and Delegate Agencies SUBJECT: Early Head Start Grant for Head Start Drivers LEGAL AND RELATED REFERENCES : Head Start Act, as amended, Sec. 645A PURPOSE : To inform Head Start grantees and delegate agencies about the first grants which the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has awarded under the Early Head Start program. This program provides comprehensive child development and family support services to low-income families with children under age three and to pregnant women. BACKGROUND : The Early Head Start (EHS) program is the product of bipartisan legislation created under the Reauthorization of the Head Start Act in May 1994. At that time, Congress mandated a new program for low-income families with infants and toddlers. In recent years, research on early childhood development has indicated that the years from conception to age three are critical in human development, and that services to support families and enhance growth and development can be helpful in outcomes for young children. In the summer of 1994, the Advisory Committee on Head Start Services for Families with Infants and Toddlers, appointed by HHS Secretary Donna Shalala and composed of child development and health and family services experts, established program guidelines and approaches.
