Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
MARRIAGE AND FAMILY: THIS PROGRAM CONSISTS PRIMARILY OF THE ACTIVITIES OF CANAVOX, A MARRIAGE MOVEMENT FOUNDED BY MOTHERS TO PROVIDE THE INTELLECTUAL TOOLS TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND DEEP AND COMPLICATED ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY DEBATES ABOUT HUMAN SEXUALITY. CANAVOX FACILITATES READING GROUPS THAT DISCUSS THESE ISSUES IN 39 STATES AND 31 COUNTRIES. IN 2021 CANAVOX EXPANDED ITS OFFERINGS FOR GIRLS AND WOMEN IN HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE, AND YOUNG ADULTHOOD. IT IS ALSO EXPANDING ITS PROGRAMMING FOR FATHERS, BOYS, AND YOUNG MEN. CANAVOXS WEBSITE IS WWW.CANAVOX.COM.
OTHER PROGRAMS: THE WITHERSPOON INSTITUTE OCCASIONALLY PROVIDES ADVICE, GRANTS, OR OTHER SUPPORT FOR ORGANIZATIONS OR SCHOLARS WHOSE MISSIONS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO ITS OWN. THE INSTITUTE DOES NOT ACCEPT APPLICATIONS FOR SUCH SUPPORT. SUCH SUPPORT DEVELOPS OUT OF PREEXISTING RELATIONSHIPS THAT THAT THE INSTITUTE MAY HAVE WITH SCHOLARS THROUGH THE INSTITUTES OWN PROGRAMMING. IN 2021 THE INSTITUTE PROVIDED SUCH ADVICE AND SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMS AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS.
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS: THESE PROGRAMS CONSIST OF SEMINARS AND ONE-ON-ONE MENTORING WITH PRINCETON UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND WITH PROMISING STUDENTS IN HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE, AND GRADUATE SCHOOL AT OTHER INSTITUTIONS. THESE ACTIVITIES SEEK TO FORM YOUNG PEOPLE TO CHERISH PERSONAL VIRTUE AND RESPONSIBILITY AND THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH. IN 2021 WE INTRODUCED A SUCCESSFUL NEW PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. THE AMOUNT OF OUR PROGRAMMING CONTINUES TO INCREASE ALONG WITH RISING STUDENT DEMAND.
