Where that information is provided it is accurate and sound. Subject matter and process are combined to reach a wide array of imbedded, though not always obvious, life skills leading to excellent growth opportunities for active participants. There will be a temptation for adults to make this an adult project with kids involved rather than the other way around. The design, while graphic, had me searching for materials, skipping over content to get to ragged headlines or boxed information, and generally wishing for consistent, easily read format. Excellent provision of worksheets and supportive aids in the materials.
Programmatic goals are clear and obvious as are a few of the life skills.
Life skills are more frequently implied or imbedded. The project is not a brief one, but it requires time to do the type of program involved. Evaluation is a constant process in the program with checklists to assess how the group is doing on a time line, but not formal evaluation instruments are provided. An invitation to join in a national evaluation of the program is included deep within the leader guidebook. At least there is a suggestion for helps in reflective learning.
