Aponte-Martínez, Gerardo J.; Pellegrino, Anthony – Social Studies, 2017
Youth are an ever-present component of conversations about culture, interconnectedness, and its effects, especially characterized as readily consuming all that globalization has to offer them. However, opportunities to acknowledge and legitimize the civic experiences youth have and the contributions they make to society have been overlooked in our…

This article provides a reanalysis of a multisited case study of youth arts, media, and critical literacy to theorize the role of networked and physical "publics" within which youth engage with issues they care about, making claims about their lived experiences. An understanding of the nature and role of publics is crucial to productive…

For this study, the authors look specifically at cultural maps that the youth created in Student Involvement Day (SID), a program committed to youth empowerment.

Caraballo, Limarys; Lozenski, Brian D.; Lyiscott, Jamila J.; Morrell, Ernest – Review of Research in Education, 2017
Knowledges from academic and professional research-based institutions have long been valued over the organic intellectualism of those who are most affected by educational and social inequities. In contrast, participatory action research (PAR) projects are collective investigations that rely on indigenous knowledge, combined with the desire to take…

Reed, Sarah J.; Miller, Robin Lin – Youth & Society, 2014
Youth are infrequently included in planning the health promotion projects designed to benefit them as many of the factors infringing upon youth's health and well-being also limit their engagement in community-based public health promotion projects. This article explores youth engagement in 13 coalitions implementing structural changes meant…

Mira, Meredith L. – Democracy & Education, 2013
Across the United States, researchers and youth workers alike have identified an increasing number of civically engaged youth who are organizing to improve their communities and schools.

De Jesús, Anthony; Oviedo, Sofia; Feliz, Scarlett – Afterschool Matters, 2015
Positive youth development and youth organizing are strengths-based approaches to the lives, needs, and contributions of young people (Damon & Gregory, 2003). These approaches privilege the voices of youth as they engage with issues in their communities and challenge institutions to respond. Few studies, however, have explored the role of…

Cowan, Janice; Smith, Carole A. – Journal of Extension, 2010
"Empowerment" is the buzzword in youth development today. As youth development professionals, are we truly allowing our youth to be equal partners? Do we provide them the opportunities to practice and gain mastery of the leadership skills we teach them? This article presents a proven model that has successfully empowered youth to lead a…

Nenga, Sandi Kawecka – Journal of Youth Studies, 2012
Public discourse suggests that volunteer work will transform youth into productive citizens by connecting youth to their communities.

Using interview and observation data from a study of 47 volunteers aged 15-23, I argue that there are three different types of…

We find that teaching is a distributed act that sits at the intersection of…
