Institute for Youth, Education and Families

The YEF Institute has published a new toolkit on Preventing Gang Violence and Building Communities Where Young People Thrive. The toolkit draws upon lessons learned over the past three years from the California Cities Gang Prevention Network, a 13-city network formed to identify strategies for reducing gang violence and victimization. The kit highlights a wide range of city practices and contains eight chapters divided into three sections: marshalling resources to fund anti-gang strategies; strategic partnerships within the criminal justice system, and with county agencies, schools, neighborhoods, and the faith community; and targeted approaches, including street-level outreach and facilitating reentry from detention facilities.

Parent Power! Supporting Your Child's Academic Success

All parents want their children to be successful in school and in life. To have confidence in their abilities, enthusiasm for discovery, and the know-how to pursue their own goals. The responsibility for nurturing, caring for and educating children belongs to the parents. But as children reach school age, schools become partners with parents in their education by helping them build basic skills they need to know as they progress from grade to grade. Children become surrounded by a wealth of learning opportunities at home, at school and in the world around them. Parents play a key role by instilling good attitudes and habits at home that become the building blocks of life long learning. This program is about helping parents understand ways of supporting learning at home so that their children can become independent learners and achieve greater success at home and throughout life.
