Despite a recent fall in knife-related assaults, there are fears the pandemic has fuelled the factors that give rise to youth violence, prompting fresh calls for action to divert young people from harm

The evidence available points to a successful and steady improve ment in the pedagogical caliber of satellite schools since 1950. Yet the same period witnessed a steady alienation of youth from Communism in Poland and Hungary and to a lesser degree also in Czechoslovakia and Rumania. It is suggested that the schools cannot easily fulfill the role assigned to them by totalitarian regimes. Unless there is some correspondence between the ideals they are asked to teach and actual reality, indoctrination may only increase the chances of youth disturbances.

"The Lord Jesus Christ is far beyond what most of us could ever dream or imagine. His greatness, His beauty, and His splendor are unknown to many Christians today. This is why a fresh look at Him--a fresh Christology--is so vital. To put it in a sentence: To faithfully represent Jesus in our time requires re-presenting Him.

As the COVID-19 pandemic wears on, America's youth are suffering in unprecedented ways as their journey to adulthood is interrupted by multiple societal effects. This thought leader piece explores the power of positive youth development in a time of national crisis. The paper outlines the effects of COVID‑19 on youths' mental health, educational engagement, and workforce opportunities, all of which have been profoundly affected by the pandemic.

These areas include increasing equitable access to youth development programs, addressing gaps in opportunities for youth, creating a workforce pipeline, elevating youth voice, and promoting civil discourse and engagement.

Integrating mentoring into existing youth programs has been suggested as a promising approach to youth development. This article discusses a theoretical rationale underlying the integration of one-on-one mentoring into established youth development programs. From an ecological perspective, the addition of mentoring into traditional programs should theoretically enhance the youth development experience. Mentoring, in addition to programs like 4-H, enriches the context in which developing youth are supported and encouraged by non-parental adults to develop competencies, to take on leadership responsibilities, and to integrate into positive peer groups (i.e., 4-H clubs). A multi-component program that involves at-risk youth in both mentoring and 4-H activities is highlighted. Results from at-risk youth and their parents indicate that Utah's 4-H/ Mentoring: Youth and Families with Promise program strengthens the protective factors of academic achievement, social competence, and family bonds.
