| | | What If Everything You Knew About Poverty Was Wrong?
Researcher Kathryn Edin left the ivory tower for the streets of Camden—and turned sociology upside down.
Blond and midwestern cheerful, Kathryn Edin could be a cruise director, except that instead of showing off the lido deck, she's pointing out where the sex traffickers live off a run-down strip of East Camden, New Jersey. Her blue eyes sparkle as she highlights neighborhood landmarks: the scene of a hostage standoff where police shot a man after he'd murdered a couple in their home and abducted their four-year-old; the front yard where a guy was gunned down after trying to settle a dispute between his son and two other teens.
(Ed Note: Dr. Edin will be our featured June Webinar speaker. Find out more here.)

| | I Had a Nice Time With You Tonight. On the App.
Last Sunday, I spent a lazy afternoon with my boyfriend. We chatted while I made brunch, discussed the books we were reading, laughed at some cat pictures and then settled down with dinner, before bidding each other good night.
We did all of this despite living more than 3,000 miles apart, thanks to smartphone applications and services that helped to collapse time and space.

Early depression, anger may taint love life even 20 years later, study shows
The study, published recently in the Journal of Family Psychology, followed 341 people for 25 years, and found that negative emotions they may have suffered as young adults can have a lasting grip on their couple relationships, well into middle age..." The fact that symptoms of depression and expressions of anger can endure over many large events in life shows how important it is to deal with mental health early." |

More Than Jobs - Providing
Disadvantaged Teens and Young Adults with Healthy Relationship Skills
as a Strategy to Reduce Poverty and Improve Child Well-Being!
The
ability of young people to forge and sustain healthy relationships can
affect almost every aspect of their lives — school and work success,
physical and mental health, and the overall health and well-being of
their own children.
(Ed.
Note: Dibble’s program, Love Notes, was developed specifically for this
intervention, funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. As a result,
many YouthBuilds and other workforce development programs use it in
their work.) |
| | | | | Employability Skills Framework?
The Office of Vocational and Adult Education has just announced the Employability Skills Framework. The Framework is comprised of nine key skills, organized in three broad categories: Applied Knowledge, Effective Relationships, and Workplace Skills.
Employability skills are general skills that are necessary for success in the labor market at all employment levels and in all sectors. These skills have a number of names— soft skills, workforce readiness skills, career readiness skills— but they all speak to the same set of core skills that employers want.
(Ed Note: In our work of relationship skills education, this framework could might well be a breakthrough, encouraging career and technical educators to directly address this topic.)

Money and TA for Evaluating Fatherhood Programs
Funding and technical assistance (TA) will soon be available from the federal government to help your organization rigorously evaluate your fatherhood program. While competition to secure funding from this source is likely to be fierce, technical assistance should be readily available to help your organization evaluate your program with existing funds and better position your program for funding from public and private sources.
