At Our Best: Building Youth-Adult Partnerships in Out-of-School
Time Settings brings together the voices of over 50 adults and
youth to explore both the promises and challenges of
intergenerational work in out-of-school time (OST) programs.
Comprised of 14 chapters, this book features empirical research,
conceptual essays, poetry, artwork, and engaged dialogue about the
complexities of youth-adult partnerships in practice. At Our Best
responds to key questions that practitioners, scholars,
policymakers, and youth navigate in this work, such as: What role
can (or should) adults play in supporting youth voice, learning,
and activism? What approaches and strategies in youth-adult
partnerships are effective in promoting positive youth development,
individual and collective well-being, and setting-level change?
What are the tensions and dilemmas that arise in the process of
doing this work? And, how do we navigate youth-adult partnerships
in the face of societal oppressions such as adultism, racism, and
misogyny? Through highlighting contemporary cases of authentic
youth-adult partnerships in youth programs, this fourth volume of
the IAP series on OST aims to introduce, engage, and sharpen
educators' understandings of the power and promise of these
relationships. Together, the authors in this volume suggest that
both building youth-adult partnerships and actively reflecting on
intergenerational work are foundational practices to achieving
transformational change in our OST organizations, schools,
neighborhoods, and communities.
