Years ago, when I first met my husband, Adam, he had just published a Editorial book on voluntary simplicity and was engaged in work that took him across the Susan Corson-Finnerty (Editor-Manager), country leading workshops on simple living. I was struggling then, as I do now, with Kenneth Sutton (Senior Editor), what the shape and character of simplicity would look and feel like in my own life. Robert Dockhorn (Assistant Editor), Judith Brown (Poetry Editor), Voluntary simplicity is an option for those of us in the economically privileged partS Ellen Michaud (Book Review Editor}, of the globe; simple living is neither optional nor voluntary for the vast majority of Christine Rusch (Milestones Editor), humanity. It was Adam who pointed out to me that one begins where one is, and Julie Gochenour, Robert Marks, Cameron McWhirter (News Editors} what he discovered in his work with workshop attenders is that simplicity means Production something quite different to an upper-middle-class suburbanite than, for instance, to Barbara Benton (Art Director), Alia Podolsky a Catholic nun living under the auspices of her religious order (many of whom, to my (Assistant Art Director) surprise, invited him to lead workshops for their communities). In North America Circulation and Advertising there are few who are not in a position to simplifY their lives. Nagendran Gulendran (Marketing and Advertising Manager}, Nicole Hackel (Circulation Assistant) I'm also something of a pack rat, always sure that there's another good use for that Administration scrap of fabric that's just too attractive to throw away, or those jars we're sure to need Marianne De Lange (Office Manager), for storing something (you get the idea). What seems to be perennially in short supply Pamela Nelson (Development Assistant), Ruth Peterson, Robert Sutton (Volunteers), is the time to piece a quilt from the fabric or to fill the jars with homemade pickles to Tom McPeak (Accounting Services) give away.

  • THE EXPLORING EXPERIENCE a National Program-Outcomes Study Conducted by Louis Harris & Associates Introduction
    THE EXPLORING EXPERIENCE A National Program-Outcomes Study Conducted by Louis Harris & Associates Introduction Exploring is a part of the Learning for Life career educa- tion program for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years old.* Exploring exists to accomplish a major goal: To provide the structure and resources needed for the youth of America to learn about career opportunities, to make ethical choices, and to achieve their full potential as individuals. In May 1998, the results of a Learning for Life program evaluation were released in a booklet titled Character Building With Learning for Life. This research study, con- ducted by Syndics Research Corporation and Dr.Kevin Ryan of Boston University, found that elementary school–age youth who participated in Learning for Life scored higher than students who did not participate in Learning for Life on questions related to a variety of ethi- cal and moral issues covered in lessons. Additionally, after six months, teacher evaluations of student behavior indi- cated that students participating in Learning for Life exhibited better behavior than those who were not in the program. *This segment of the research focuses on the Exploring program of Learning for Life. It became an official program of Learning for Life on August 1, 1998. Before this date, Exploring and Venturing were com- bined in a single program. Venturing is now a separate part of Boy Scouts of America. 2 The Exploring Experience Although that study illustrated the effectiveness of the cha r a c t e r -building aspect of Learning for Life among ele- mentary-age youth (ages 6 to 12 years old), it did not address issues among young adults (ages 14 to 20) in the Exploring program.
