The Working It Out series is designed primarily for students age 9-15, but the activities can be easily adapted to meet the needs of older or younger students. Originally created in 1995, the new version was written by the Program for Educational Change Agents at Tufts University. The co-educational component, called Class Activities for Coeducational Groups , consists of exercises that address the needs and concerns of girls and boys. Activities are designed to help young people understand that both boys and girls face obstacles and challenges to achieving their full potential. Through five different sections, the discussions and activities explore girls' and boys' aspirations and identity, as well as the pressures, obstacles and support found along the way.
Day allows boys a space to learn about how gender influences their lives.
Educational support for the 2000 day continues to grow - currently eight national education organizations have endorsed the goals of the program. Educational goals have been at the heart of the program since its inception. Drawing on research showing that adult encouragement can change the course of a girl's life, the program gives girls the opportunity to see a wide range of life and career options open to them. The program is clearly having an impact. The number participating is the highest of any year.
