Synopsis

For communities and organizations working with youth, this manual offers a straightforward and adaptable plan for building community initiatives and youth programs that get results. Because youth programs and community initiatives are required by their funders to document outcomes, this 10-step process poses different accountability questions. Each step is accompanied with examples from Search Institute and Healthy Communities*Healthy Youth (HC*HY), a network of nearly 600 community organizations, providing a helpful combination of scientific research and grassroots mobilization strategies. Included with the manual is a CD-ROM with all the worksheets, forms, and needs-assessment tools for community development workers to start applying the frameworks to their own projects.
