Multi-State Initiatives Extension CARES for America’s Children and Youth A National Initiative of the Cooperative Extension System that improves child care and youth programs for infants and toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children and youth, and teens in out-of-school time. CSREES GOAL: This program will enhance economic opportunity and quality of life for Americans (REE Goal 5). By expanding the availability of quality child care at affordable prices, this program will help CSREES achieve two objectives: (5.1) to increase the capacity of communities and families to enhance their own economic well-being and, (5.2) to increase the capacity of communities, families, and individuals to improve their own quality of life. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED: The need for quality child care and youth programs (for infants/toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children and youth, and teens in out-of-school time) in the United States has never been greater. Over the course of their developmental years, millions of American children and youth will spend more time child care, school-age care, and other arrangements than they will in formal education. However, national studies show over 2/3 of all child care programs are poor to mediocre some to the extent of actually harming the development of children. Children only spend about 20% of their time in school. The other 80% of their time is critical to positive development. Everyday 17 million parents need child care, 13 million children are in child care, 24 million children and youth need school-age programs, and about 5 million youth are left alone. This initiative aims to increase the quality, affordability, accessibility, availability and sustainability of child care and youth programs. However, these child care and youth issues are imbedded in much larger societal issues of

Home Welcome President's Letter Georgia District Schools ... What is a leader? IMAGINE FOR A MOMENT Imagine if you would for just a moment how excited you were when you first woke up on that special day, be it Christmas or your birthday, and how excited you were to see all of the new toys, games, and clothing. And, lets be honest, how excited you were about getting the assortment of new school supplies. Can you remember how you felt and how appreciative you were to be so blessed? Now imagine that where you were not at your home with your family on that special day and that you were but one of many kids living at one of the Georgia Sheriff's Youth Homes. Would the birthday parties and Christmas get-togethers be the same? This is the way it is for so many kids. But these special occasions do not have to be totally bad. Great memories and special times can be a part of their lives as well. We as Key Club members can make a difference in their lives. This is the main thrust of our service for 2001-2002. This year, it is the challenge of the Georgia District Board to raise $20,000 for the Georgia Sheriff's Youth Home. With this money we can continue with our investment to build an education resource center at the Dalton GYSH campus. To meet this challenge, we need every Key Club to raise and contribute a minimum of $300. We can do this. I have the greatest confidence in each club and its leadership to meet this challenge.
