Book excerpt: After-school programs, scout groups, community service activities, religious youth groups, and other community-based activities have long been thought to play a key role in the lives of adolescents. But what do we know about the role of such programs for today's adolescents? How can we ensure that programs are designed to successfully meet young people's developmental needs and help them become healthy, happy, and productive adults? Community Programs to Promote Youth Development explores these questions, focusing on essential elements of adolescent well-being and healthy development. It offers recommendations for policy, practice, and research to ensure that programs are well designed to meet young people's developmental needs. The book also discusses the features of programs that can contribute to a successful transition from adolescence to adulthood. It examines what we know about the current landscape of youth development programs for America's youth, as well as how these programs are meeting their diverse needs. Recognizing the importance of adolescence as a period of transition to adulthood, Community Programs to Promote Youth Development offers authoritative guidance to policy makers, practitioners, researchers, and other key stakeholders on the role of youth development programs to promote the healthy development and well-being of the nation's youth.

Download or read book After School Centers and Youth Development written by Barton J. Hirsch and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-12 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines after-school programs in light of their explosive growth in recent years. In the rush to mount programs, there is a danger of promoting weak ones of little value and failing to implement strong ones adequately. But what is quality and how can it be achieved? This book presents findings from an intensive study of three after-school centers that differed dramatically in quality. Drawing from 233 site visits, the authors examine how – and why – young people thrive in good programs and suffer in weak ones. The book features engaging, in-depth case studies of each of the three centers and of six youths, two from each center. Written in a highly accessible style for academics, youth workers, after-school program leaders and policy makers, the study breaks new ground in highlighting the importance of factors such as collective mentoring, synergies among different programs and activities, and organizational culture and practices.

Book excerpt: A neighborhood service center is a conveniently located facility, staffed by professionals and community residents with no training, designed to provide specific, speedy services to people with a wide variety of simple and complex problems. On the philosophical level, the centers comprise one important element of a broad attack on Juvenile delinquency. On the action level, they are one way of dealing with problems of inhabitants of the inner city, a "place to go" for help. Services dispensed by centers may range from on-the-spot advice on problems requiring immediate attention, to long-term assistance with legal, employment, and personal problems. This report examines six neighborhood service centers receiving funds from the Office of Juvenile Delinquency and Youth Development. It describes the multitude of services offered and focuses on some basic issues that need to be resolved in order for these centers to make a more vital contribution toward meeting a community's needs.
