IDCE 30293 - Youth and Community Development: Theory, Policy and Practice

Type of Course: Seminar
This course integrates readings, class discussion and field observations to understand the complex relationships between youth and community development. It provides an overview of adolescent development, with a specific focus on urban teens. Students are introduced to the strengths and challenges of young people growing up in inner-city neighborhoods. The course examines neighborhoods and after-school programs as particularly important contexts for youth development. Students discover that few youth-development programs address community-level factors that influence young people’s futures, and conversely, few community-development initiatives involve youth as key actors in the development process. As a final project, students develop proposals based on evidence and driven by theory to begin to fill this critical gap.
