Book Synopsis Youth Participation and Community Change by : Barry Checkoway
Download or read book Youth Participation and Community Change written by Barry Checkoway and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empowered youth CAN and DO make a difference! Young people become empowered by their participation in the institutions and decisions that affect their lives—which in turn can lead to real positive change in the community. Youth Participation and Community Change presents leading authorities providing the latest research and effective approaches on how young people can be drawn to participate in organizations and communities. The diverse perspectives discuss youth participation in today’s society, the models and methods of its practice, the roles of youth and adults, and the future of youth participation and community in a diverse democracy. Approaches include those which promote participatory community-based research and evaluation, and involve youth groups in poor and racially segregated areas. The mainstream view of much of today’s youth is that of being victims of society rather than a being a possible positive influence on society as a whole. Youth Participation and Community Change seeks to shift the viewpoint from youth as being problems to empowering them to enact positive social change. The book explores community agency efforts to involve young people, and the process by which youth civic engagement promotes empowerment. Social work and public health approaches are examined, with cogent discussions on conceptual and theoretical issues. Empirically based case studies illustrate best practices and interdisciplinary work that draws upon psychology, sociology, social work, public health, education, and related academic disciplines and professional fields. Topics in Youth Participation and Community Change include: key dimensions of critical youth empowerment a case study of youth leadership development in Hawaii—the Sariling Gawa Youth Council the Lexington Youth Leadership Academy—a leadership development and community change program a new model for youth civic engagement in Hampton, Virginia three projects that engage urban youth in community change through participatory research youth engagement strategies and the benefits of youth participation in health research ten projects which used photovoice to represent, advocate, and enhance community health a participatory action research process with youth in Bosnia and Herzegovina the Growing Up in Cities project of UNESCO training students as facilitators for the Youth Empowerment Strategies (YES!) project four characteristics of engagement in the research literature and a school-community-university project differences in developmental outcomes among youth organizing, identity-support, and traditional youth development agencies Youth Participation and Community Change is thought-provoking, enlightening reading that is perfect for organizers, planners, policymakers, advocates, youth service workers, agency administrators, educators, students, and professionals in psychology, sociology, social work, urban planning, public policy, and public health.

Book Synopsis Youth Empowerment Programs by : Krista Madelyn Collins
Download or read book Youth Empowerment Programs written by Krista Madelyn Collins and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence of youth empowerment programs is increasing, yet there is limited empirical evidence to support the relationships between program activities and empowerment outcomes. Building on Zimmerman's framework (1995), empowerment is defined as three distinct, but related experiences: 1) empowering context, 2) psychological empowerment, and 3) behavioral empowerment. While previous research has provided some preliminary evidence for each construct, the relationships between variables, especially in relation to existing program environments, still needs to be investigated. Collaborating with After-School All-Stars (AAS-LA), a program providing at-risk youth with enrichment opportunities for character education and leadership, this study conducted a secondary-data analysis using the 2011-2012 AAS-LA evaluation database. Using Mplus6* to test structural equation models, this study tested causal pathways between program activities and youth empowerment outcomes. First, measurement models were tested and confirmed the presence of each latent empowerment construct. Specifically, empowering context was measured by climate (satisfaction, relationships, and meaning) and opportunity (resources, engagement, active learning, and social connection). Psychological empowerment was measured by self-efficacy, locus of control, and motivation. Finally, composites of civic participation, advocacy, and leadership reliably measured behavioral empowerment. Building on the measurement models, the second phase tested the structural pathways between each empowerment construct. After controlling for measurement invariance over time, the strongest structural model of youth empowerment was found when motivation was measured as a factor of behavioral empowerment as well. While empowering context was a significant predictor of both psychological empowerment and behavioral empowerment, the relationship between psychological empowerment and behavioral empowerment was negative. Lastly, school level significantly moderated the structural model, with the positive relationship between empowering context and behavioral empowerment being stronger for middle school students, and the negative relationship between psychological empowerment and behavioral empowerment being stronger for high school students. In addition to contributing useful information to our understanding of the youth empowerment process, this study provides meaningful and relevant information to program practitioners motivated to empower youth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human beings everywhere around the globe have natural propensity towards success and progress in their endeavour and constantly seek fulfilment and happiness. It is this desire for fulfilment, happiness, success, and progress in man that pushes him towards hard work and creativity. However, often than not, the struggle to attain fulfilment and happiness in life is met with frustrations due to lack of wherewithal of carrying out the project. It could also be ascribed to the social structure such as bad governance, war, natural deserters, etc., which may hamper the free flow of activities geared towards ones success. In the presence of such frustrations, the victims can become disoriented, antisocial and antisociety. Such situation has serious consequences on peace in the world because this category of people often resort to different social vices like prostitution, intake of hard drugs, kidnapping, terrorism, armed robbery, suicide, et cetera, as the way of survival that spare doom to the society in which they live. It is to address this threat to world peace that, over the years, Fr. Edeh has distinguished himself in empowering people in different categories with little or no concern on tribe, creed, or nationality of those within his empowerment scheme. He has helped thousands of men and women to identify their God-given talents to attain fulfilment and happiness. Many of such people are now living happily on their own while a host of others are undergoing the training now. Interestingly, many of those who have successfully undergone the training in his skills acquisition centre are employers of labour today. Apart from this category of beneficiaries, there are over 12, 743 workers who are working in different establishments of Fr. Edeh and in this way fulfilled in their lives. Fr. Edehs remote conviction for venturing into human empowerment is to contribute his quota to the global project of world peace. It is his belief that world peace can only be attained when individual men and women are enjoying peace in their heartswhen hunger, poverty, diseases, frustration, illiteracy, and unemployment have been reduced to their barest minimum or even eradicated. This book therefore shows clearly how Fr. Prof. Edeh has achieved so much in empowering our teaming youths and this bringing peace in their hearts and thus peace in the world.
