Jeannie Freese Popowitch from CCE's nutrition program and I lead activities that promote good decisions for healthy living Youth set nutrition and fitness goals and work toward them, eying incentives which recognize efforts and successes. This program meets at Boynton and has participants from Boynton, as well as a high school helper from Ithaca High. This month activities included cooking healthy treats that were sweet yet healthy(whole wheat apple and yogurt wraps)and a" trip to the Sciencenter,which blended science education and exploration with exercise. The Sciencenter trip was our first day of using a pedomete4 as a way to motivate youth to walk their 10,000 steps a day. High School.robs: 1 Participant: i Unduplicated. The High School Jobs Program connects youth with, obs aJ assistar.�i, Enfield Youth Programs as well as with other Enfield and ihaca employers. Youth receive training in work ethics, appropriate work dress, and employer/employee appropriate behavior, as well as gaining life skills associated with the specific job. Currently one youth is working in the Eat Fit Program,assisting in the afterschool program and on program trips- Movie-Making.- 5 participants:5 Duplicated. Youth are learning many new skills involved in movie making including how to film and edit, as well as working together to produce a joint product. They have opportunities to be creative and to experiment with interesting techniques Enfield youth have been working closely with Danby youth to write a script,act out and film a movie.The first few meetings we had students interview each other,as a way for them to get to know each other and to get a feel for what they knew about movie making and what they wanted out of the program.We made lists of genres of movies, and youth talked through their ideas until they agreed to split into 3 subgroups that would eventually come together to make one movie. Youth quickly created friendships as they wrote a 3-part script with a general theme of a 'courtroom'.Much of the time in February was used to practice and refine scripts as well as to begin scenery and prop creation. P Grade Primitive Pursuits: 8 youth: 5 duplicated. 3 unduplicated. Primitive Pursuits:12 youth, 12 Duplicated. Youth learn ancestral living skills and nature awareness while building self confidence through Primitive Pursuits programs. Enfield Elementary School.Now that we finally have snow,we have been focusing on skills where snow is useful,such as winter shelters,tracking,and outdoor safety. Tracking is a great way to not only learn about the local fauna, but also Iearn how to ask questions and problem solve. We have also worked on team building activities,where youth work together to meet a common goal,such as one match fire challenges,and following someone's tracks in the snow to find their hiding place.Lastly,youth have been learning more about shelter as they work to build a shelter that can be used through the winter. Youth were specifically encouraged to think about shelter making and the decisions they would make in building a shelter at the upcoming winter overnight. Primitive Pursuits Winter Overnight: 2 youth:2 duplicated.:Overnights are a wonderful opportunity far youth to practice and evaluate what they have learned in the Primitive Pursuits Program and put their skills to use. Youth often build their own shelters to sleep in, need to make fires in order to eat, and are required to use outdoor safety precaurior s such as staying dry in cold weather. Two youth from Enfield joined youth from Lansing on a very wet, snowy and cold overnight at 4-H Acres;there were late cancellations due to weather and sickness. Our group was given a challenge of a wet rainy/snowy day with the temperature dropping later in the day. We worked hard on creating snow shelters that would keep us dry and warm through the night,and in getting dry firewood. One youth decided to challenge himself with a solo shelter,which he built under the supervision of Primitives staff. He was very successful, stayed warm and dry,.and communicated a strong sense of self-confidence and pride. Photography: 5 youth, 0 Unduplicated, 5 duplicated. The photographyprogram gives youth skills around use of cameras--digital;film, and movie--as well.as allows youth to be creative and share this creativity with friends and family.This program is offered for the first time to Dewitt youth from Enfield. They have been working with youth from Joint Youth Commission to photograph nature,people and objects around the Ithaca area. In February,we worked on choosing one photograph for.the framed gallery piece;as well as on collages.Youth also planned activities, games and snacks for the gallery which we had on Feb 23rd. Participants were very proud of their work and delighted in showing their work to both family and CCE staff who dropped by. It was also-a nice opportunity for parents to come and share in their youths'work. Dewitt Lunchtime:I often meet students during lunchtime—to recruit, talk about youth employment, do informal activities, and sometimes planned activities with small groups. This Iunchtime interaction is a chance for me to encourage,youth who may have not part.icipated to try something new and come join a program,continue building relationships with students,older crafts to youth from.Enfield and sometimes their friends as well,and to gain perspective:about their lives at Middle School.

This program meets at Boynton and has participants from Boynton,as well as a high school helper from Ithaca high This Program has a nutrition/cooking element each week,as well as an exercise component.One highlight in March was a lesson on fat.Youth were able to look at a big mac,and spoon out the amount of'fat' (Crisco)that was contained in the big mac. This gave the participants a clear picture of how much fat was in the food;they were very impressed by this.Youth were given water bottles and a reminder of the importance of drinking water,and fancy jump ropes that could be used both on their own,and could be connected to each others for group jumping. High School Jobs: 5 youth: 3 duplicated,2 unduplicated One youth is working in the Eat Fit Program, and 4 youth are meeting with me about work possibilities.One is being trained to help out at the Primitive Pursuits Program,and is finishing paperwork.A student who has worked in the past but has used all her hours,contacted me to see if she could work something out to work in Enfield again. in the past she has helped to w ite a Stop-DWI grant to both pay her wages as well as to provide a program for Enfield Elementary Youth,and she may be able to do a similar program this year.

Primitive Pursuits:13 youth, 13 Duplicated.Enfield Elementary School. r Grade Primitive Pursuits: 7 youth, 5 duplicated,2 unduplicated. Youth learn ancestral living skills and nature awareness while building self confidence through Primitive Pursuits programs. We have been working on many of the same skills in both of these programs such as tracking,firebuilding and outdoor safety. We had a difficult yet hugely educational experience—my coworker Jed heard about'a freshly killed deer and brought it to program. It brought wonderful discussions about animals,safety around dead animals,ethics of eating animals,about animal anatomy and physiology,and emotions around death. Students were talking about it to each other all week, and came to the program the next week with lots of questions,and concern for the deer a week later. Dewitt and Boynton Lunchtime:I often meet students during lunchtime—to recruit, talk about youth employment, do informal activities, and sometimes planned activities with small groups. This lunchtime interaction is a chance for me to encourage youth who may have not participated to try something new and come join a program, continue building relationghiPS with students, youth from Enfield and sometimes their friends as well, and to gain perspective offer crafts to about their lives at Middle School.
