YOUTH DEVELOPMENT POSTERS AND STICKERS
AVAILABLE AT 4-H UPDATES
The "Connect the Dots" 4-H Youth Development posters and
stickers distributed during Annual Conference will be available during the
4-H Area Updates held in November. Provided by OPEN-K (Opportunities for
Prevention Education and Networking in Kansas) through the Expanded
Delivery Models of 4-H Youth Development Action Team, "Connect the
Dots" recognizes the contributions made by Research and Extension
youth development professionals towards building healthy Kansas kids.
As part of the Youth, Family and Community
Development Core Mission Theme, the posters and stickers can be used to
market Research and Extension's youth development work internally (with
colleagues, office professionals, volunteers). "Connect the
Dots" can also help to position 4-H Youth Development with external
youth-serving organizations (e.g., Boys and Girls Clubs, YouthFriends,
Scouting, Juvenile Justice, etc.). The ultimate goal is the identification
and recognition that K-State Research and Extension 4-H Youth Development
professionals are the "go-to" people for local youth development
expertise!
In addition to the posters and stickers,
local faculty should be looking ahead to receiving from the Expanded
Delivery Models team other information (journals, publications) that will
assist them in their on-going professional development as youth
development professionals. If you have questions, please contact Diane
Mack, Jana Hackney or Elaine Johannes. --Elaine Johannes ejohanne@oznet.ksu.edu

their efforts to improve their world? If so, make sure they know about the
Colgate Youth for America program. Now entering its 28th year, 4-H and

application are now accessible through the Colgate-Palmolive site at: http://www.colgate.com/cp/ColgateImages.class/press_room

NBA TeamUp All-Star 2001 Awards Again
Accepting Applications
The NBA TeamUp and Youth Service America again are joining together to
recognize outstanding young people who make a difference in their
communities through volunteer service. Applications are being accepted
from high school students (grades 9-12, ages 13 and older) residing in the
United States and Canada. Applicants must be individuals who have engaged
in volunteer service in the year 2000. In February, three TeamUp Honorees
will receive round-trip airfare for two to Washington DC and be presented
an award, including a $1000 grant to fund a project for Global Youth
Service Day 2001 and a $1000 donation to the non-profit charity of their
choice. This will happen during the NBA TeamUp Celebration, a special TV
event saluting youth volunteers held during NBA All-Star Weekend. It will
be simulcast on NBC, TNT, Nickelodeon, and BET.
In its fifth year, NBA TeamUp has provided
more then 200,000 youth with service opportunities, and recognized more
then 40,000 youth for outstanding dedication. The NBA and its players
continue to promote volunteering and service through public service
announcements, television specials, and motivational visits by NBA players
and team representatives. This year also marked the debut of the NBA's
2,000 in 2000 pledge, where each NBA team will engage at least 2,000 young
people in community service during the 2000-2001 season. For more
information check out www.SERVEnet.org

RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THE HUNGER
CURRICULUM: Free Hunger Management Resources for Educators
Oxfam America's "Fast for a World Harvest" campaign has been
raising consciousness about poverty and hunger in communities across the
country for 26 years, with nearly 2,000 groups nationwide planning annual
Oxfam events. November 16, the Thursday before Thanksgiving, is the
kick-off date for the 2000 "Fast for a World Harvest" campaign.
Funds raised will support grassroots development projects of poor and
marginalized people, including refugees, women, indigenous people,
landless peasants, and survivors of war and natural disasters in the U.S.
and around the world. With more than 1.3 billion people worldwide living
on less than a dollar a day, and nearly 800 million people without enough
to eat, support for community-based, self-help programs is vital.
You can choose to:
* Fast for a day, skip a meal, or give up something you like, and get
others to sponsor you.
* Organize a Dining Hall fast, a benefit talent show or ask a local band
to perform. Organize a Hunger Banquet: A large meal is prepared and
divided among guests in proportions representing the earnings of high-,
middle- and low-income groups. By random drawing, guests join one of the
three groups: 15 percent receive a gourmet meal, 30 percent eat rice and
beans, and 55 percent get only rice and water. The Hunger Banquet
dramatizes the unequal distribution of resources throughout the world.
* Become involved in our new Fair Trade Coffee campaign.
Contact Oxfam for FREE organizing materials
for these and other event ideas at fast@oxfamamerica.org
or call 800-597-FAST. Materials can be downloaded from our web site at http://www.oxfamamerica.org
