Youth Involvement
- Share to:
Youth work in America needs a breakthrough, a turning point that can move it to a higher and more relevant level of accomplishment in the processes of youth development. It would seem that forces within our national culture are leading to more of those disturbing symptoms of self- destruction and failure to grow that concern us so much. Our various programmatic efforts in youth work seem to be making little progress against the forces that promote symptoms of substance abuse, teen pregnancy, child abuse, suicide, eating disorders, emotional and mental illness, school failure, and other such concerns.
There is growing awareness that a major consideration in this picture may reside in the very nature and quality of relationships between adults and young people, and that relationship patterns from the past and in the present may be a major stumbling block in our youth develop- ment efforts. New patterns of youth/adult part- nerships are emerging, and the results are both promising and exciting.
