Partner With the Media To Build Safer Communities, 2nd Edition

How can the media bolster your crime prevention efforts? How do you capture their attention? Partner With the Media is a comprehensive action kit that will lead you through the process of creating a valuable partnership with the media. This revised edition helps you gain insight on how to leverage mass communications vehicles -- newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and cable -- to advocate community-based prevention activities.  But the kit also provides basic information and suggestions for engaging the local communications media in the crime prevention efforts. You'll also learn about new and nontraditional media -- cable television and computer networks -- and how to target them.  The first edition was developed in response to requests from crime prevention practitioners and advocates across the country who wanted information on ways to maximize their success in the media and promote the use of the public service announcements of the National Citizens' Crime Prevention Campaign.

Making Change for the Better: The Importance of Youth Giving

Young people today are volunteering at the highest level in 50 years. They are eager to use their time and energy for the good of their communities. The National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) partnered with the Center for Youth as Resources to publish Making Change for the Better to encourage young people to contribute financially as well. The book provides youth with important information about money -- how to spend it wisely, how to save it, and how to give it to help others. Resources include worksheets to calculate monthly income and expenses and to set goals. An overview explains financial tools, such as checking accounts, debit and credit cards, and loans. A glossary defines terms. Readers are referred to additional websites and documents for more information. This is a good introduction to youth philanthropy for teens and the adults who work with them.
