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. Table of Contents Front
