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.

Born Learning

Parents and caregivers of young children understand that the early years are important, yet many aren’t sure how to encourage early learning, or feel they don’t have time to do what it takes to help their child succeed in school. Many communities are concerned about children coming to school unprepared, but aren’t coming together to give parents more choices and children more opportunities. In response, United Way of America is partnering with the Ad Council, Civitas and Families and Work Institute to create Born Learning, an innovative public engagement campaign that helps parents, caregivers and communities create quality early learning opportunities for young children.
