Youth & Youth Programs
Community Programs to Promote Youth Development - This is a 2001 report from the National Research Council's Board on Children, Youth, and Families. It examines what we know about community-based programs that promote positive development for youth. The report is online or can be purchased. http://books.nap.edu/books/0309072751/html/index.html
Promoting Youth Participation - The National League of Cities' Institute for Youth, Education, and Families has an action kit with advice, examples, and resources for giving youth a voice and a role in local government.
