Working Together for Youth: A Practical Guide for Individuals and Groups

A step-by-step process for translating concern into action. The process involves three critical tasks: gathering information about problems and strengths of youth, building a shared vision of the future for youth, taking action to help achieve that future. The first part of the book focuses on an individual's ability to assess and implement change in a community. Part two provides practical suggestions for gatherings of all sorts of people to interpret information, share a vision and commit to action. Includes 16 worksheets that guide the process, on subjects such as assets of youth in your community, crisis intervention services, basic planning guidelines, and making a collaboration work.
