抽象的

A womanist model of children and youth enrichment, consisting of a Saturday school (pastoral care and counseling, mentoring, music, and cultural arts), a summer camping program, and a recreational program, is implemented to transmit to children and youth alternative ways of knowing, surviving, and growing. The author is interested to test whether a womanist model of care--the core beliefs of African American women found in traditional African religions, the oral tradition, relevant biblical affirmations, and ethic of eighteenth century clubwomen, as well as African American folk culture, can counteract 'at-risk' behaviors of children and youth by building psychic survival and self-esteem and inspiring a higher sense of hope and expectancy. Four testing instruments were used. Test results and behavioral observation indicate that each person tested in the study improved his/her sense of self-esteem, with the percentage of improvement ranging from three to fifteen percent. Every student tested in the program experienced some degree of growth, thus supplying adequate evidence to prove that a womanist model of children and youth enrichment can counteract 'at-risk' behaviors of children and youth.
