How can we better organize and support youth in their contribution
to public life? Ross VeLure Roholt, Michael Baizerman, and Roudy W.
Hildreth have developed this book to help practitioners and
educators who work with youth look at young people in a framework
that is qualitatively different. This book explores the idea of
youth not only as a developmental stage but also as having a
purposeful social role within civic life. This text presents
co-creation as a form of direct youth work practice that invites
youth to become actively involved in their communities as citizens,
collaborating with youth workers to create and sustain safe spaces
for civic engagement. The book's contributors show how adults who
work with youth can promote a democratic environment where youth
can discuss, engage, and act on issues that matter to them. This
book provides concrete case studies of civic youth workers and
participating youth creating spaces for the civic and political
development of young people in places that lack a social
expectation of young people contributing to public life. From
developing strategies for conflict reduction in Africa to mending
the religious divide in Northern Ireland, the examples describe how
to coordinate, support, and manage programs and initiatives with
young people that can effect positive change on a global scale.
