Clues in the trees! Woodland bear hunt was fab! The kids walked for miles, learned so much about woodlands and habitats and had bear themed cup cakes.

Algorithmically-driven helping work (, , ) further entrenches the power of a few wealthy adults.

Transitioning leadership practices aim to give it back.

We need to confront the former in many ways. The latter offers us one strategy.

I believe strongly that young people ought to have a say in decisions and policies that impact their lives. Our societal and psychological commitment to adult supremacy often blocks that opportunity.

My work is dedicated to working through those challenges to transition leadership of groups that serve youth into the hands of young people themselves.

➡️ I call this work Transitioning Leadership and recently posted an example of how I did this in a college class. Key: tools to gain orientation to the agenda setting / decision-making context and mentored practice.

🔗 I wrote about it and also link to the full curriculum of a course where I practiced it.

Algorithms are being used to "help" people in need, and young people in (after) school. But we should be asking what kind of help they are providing, who they serve, who makes money from them, and what the impact will be.

A heck of a lot of data is created about young people and the clients of human service programs. It tracks, analyzes, determines worthiness for services, and so on. It's done that part for years.

What's new is that some believe it can be used to shape human consciousness. And of course the goal consciousness, intentionally or not, is one of white supremacy and colonialism.

Almost nobody is asking questions about this. Front line workers, who ARE concerned are never asked their opinions. Clients and young people who are concerned are ignored.

Generative AI is on our minds. But less so the slowly creeping growth of algorithmic helping; data-driven interventions to change human well-being, and even consciousness. @naomikritzer wrote about it in her most recent Clarkesworld short fiction, "Better Living Through Algorithms".

I use that as a launchpad to open up some ideas about Algorithmic Helping:

The South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (Xamk) donates its Christmas greetings budget to MIELI Mental Health Finland.

With over 120 years, MIELI is the world’s oldest non-governmental organisation dedicated to mental health.

MIELI’s website doesn’t feature its Christmas fundraising campaign in English. Fortunately, online translation tools are common these days. mieli.fi/joulukampanja/
