Next up in my bookshelf clearing endeavor is Empowering Youth, by Kelly Curtis. Kelly also runs a blog, by the way: Pass the Torch. You may be familiar with it from her one year homeschooling experiment which, if I remember correctly, occurred the same year she wrote the book! That has given me great encouragement as I muddle my way through my goals, and composing wonderful passages in my mind that are gone once I get some quiet time at the computer.
This is a nice little book focused on encouraging the development of young leaders with (from the back cover):
- Nineteen youth and adult activities that provide community initiatives and organizations with ways to get started in youth empowerment.
- Firsthand accounts from youth and adults around the world who offer insight, advice, and best practices.
- Five checklists to get groups thinkng about how they support youth empowerment.
- Motivating tips and anecdotes showing how adults can empower youth every day.
- Research that demonstrates the value of taking this approach.
And again, all you need do to enter is leave a comment. Barring the unforeseen, I will choose a winner sometime Friday, February 26 with the help of Random.org.
Open to the US and Canada.
Welcome to Roscommon Acres, my little home in the country. I write here about life more abundantly, from the joy of a baby’s smile to the almost unbearable grief of losing a son. I am seeking beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, a garment of praise instead of the spirit of despair (Isaiah 61:3).
Just place "Tiggy" in the subject line.

I am co-leader of an urban youth girls ministry and I think this book would be great in helping us empower them! Not to mention, I have 3 sons that surely could benefit from it as well! Thank you for the chance to win!
I am an 4-H ambassador and we work with a lot of youth and encouraging them to become the best that they can and to explore new things, so this book would be perfect for us to learn more! Thanks for the chance!

I have 3 boys so I am always looking for ways to help them grow into strong men. I would enjoy reading this book and discovering more ways to empower youth every day
My daughter who teaches high school would really like this book.
Kelly is so inspirational. I have the honor of working with her in the New Richmond District. Her ideas and support are phenomenal as a coworker and as a mom of 3.
Please randomly pick me!

Sounds like a great book! We are switching schools for our eight year old son and I’d love to have some ideas to help him feel more empowered in change.
