Hardback. Condition: Good. 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.

Community Programs to Promote Youth Development explores these questions, focusing on essential elements of adolescent well-being and healthy development.
