{{Orphan|date=February 2017}}Joy G. Dryfoos (1925 – 28 March 2012) was an American sociologist who is credited with the creation of the concept of full-service schools.[1]

Life

Dryfoos was born to Mr. and Mrs. Gidding in Plainfield, New Jersey in 1925.[2] She had one brother. She married George E. Dryfoos and had one child. She died in Brookline, Massachusetts at the age of 86.[1]

Career

At 17, Dryfoos became a community organizer.[2] She went to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where she worked at the Irene Kaufman Settlement House. She also worked in a commune in North Dakota, and was the assistant director of an art studio in a Ypsilanti, Michigan public housing project. She then traveled around Europe until 1948. She then worked on Henry A. Wallace's presidential campaign. Afterward, she became involved in more community organizing. In 1951, she became the first Jewish president of the League of Women Voters. She left the position and became a substitute teacher, and then went back to school and attended Antioch College. She received a bachelor's degree.[1][2] When the 1960 census came out, she began analyzing it using her personal adding machine. She wrote a series of briefs based on census data, but did not intend for any specific audience to read them. However, her briefs came to the attention of Planned Parenthood, particularly one that focused on estimating the need family planning from Census data. She then went to Sarah Lawrence College to pursue an advanced degree.[2] She earned a master's degree in Urban Sociology in 1966.[1]

After graduation, she then began to work for the Center for Family Planning Program Development, which is now the Alan Guttmacher Institute. She worked there for fifteen years, from 1969 to 1981, as the Director of Research and Planning.[1][2] She was also involved in the 1975 publication Eleven Million Teenagers: The Epidemic of Teenage Pregnancy, a book that called attention to rampant teenage pregnancy in the United States. This phenomenon was largely unseen until said publication. She also co-founded the Coalition for Community Schools and the Full Service Schools Roundtable. Both were located in Boston, Massachusetts.[1] In 1981, she left the Center.[2][3] She then went to work for The Rockefeller Foundation, where she wrote a paper on her ideas for teen pregnancy prevention. Around this time, she also became interested in school-based clinics, and continued to work on issues relating to teen pregnancy. She also became associated with The Carnegie Corporation. In 1985, she developed a proposal for a grant that became one of her books, Developing a Strategy for Adolescents at Risk. This proposal became the project Adolescents at Risk.[2]

Dryfoos began to teach at Columbia University, where she became a full professor in the School of Public Health. She wrote more books, including Full Service Schools. She also began to work on various advisory committees, while an independent researcher at the Carnegie Corporation Foundation.[2][3] She became a Senior Consultant to the Public Education Network’s Schools and Community Initiative, and has also served on multiple National Academy of Science panels.[4] She wrote hundreds of articles and multiple books.[1][3][4]
