Based on years of research with adolescent girls -- and adults who devoted their lives to working with them -- Thinking Outside the Girl Box reveals what is possible when young people are challenged to build on their strengths, speak and be heard, and engage critically with their world. Based on twelve years of field research, the book traces the life of the Lincoln County Girls' Resiliency Program (GRP), a grassroots, community nonprofit aimed at helping girls identify strengths, become active decision makers, and advocate for social change. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the GRP flourished. Its accomplishments were remarkable: girls recorded their own CDs, published poetry, conducted action research, opened a coffeehouse, performed an original play, and held political rallies at West Virginia's State Capitol. The organization won national awards, and funding flowed in. Today, in 2013, the programming and organization are virtually nonexistent. Thinking Outside the Girl Box raises pointed questions about how to define effectiveness and success in community-based programs and provides practical insights for anyone working with youth. Written in an accessible, engaging style and drawing on collaborative ethnographic research that the girls themselves helped conduct, the book tells the story of an innovative program determined to challenge the small, disempowering "boxes" girls and women are so often expected to live in"--Provided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Young women|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85149296|zWest Virginia|zLincoln County.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81117325-781 650 0 Youth development|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh2002010586|zWest Virginia|zLincoln County.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81117325-781 650 0 Teenage girls|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85000957|zWest Virginia|zLincoln County|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81117325-781|vLife skills guides.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001632 650 7 Young women.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1183301 650 7 Youth development.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1183602 650 7 Teenage girls.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1145412 651 7 West Virginia|zLincoln County.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1215799 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Life skills guides.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1423810 700 1 Amerikaner, Layne,|d1986-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n2013072280|eauthor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aSpatig, Linda, 1948-|tThinking outside the girl box|z9780821420591|w(DLC) 2013037227 |w(OCoLC)847837253 830 0 Race, ethnicity and gender in Appalachia. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=688335|zOnline eBook.
