“…It is also found that major-oriented student organizations will help students perceive bonds to their major and lead to better performance (Nolen, Daniel, & Bucklin, 2021). However, the operation of youth organizations is sometimes challenging, for the organizations might face some problems such as misunderstandings, struggle, prejudice and inequality (Tannock, 1999; Filak & Pritchard, 2007; Sahoo, 2020), which may hinder organizational collaboration (Giauque et al. , 2022).…”

PurposeCollaboration is significant but difficult for the development of youth organizations, this research aims to explore whether the online collaboration process is suitable for youth organizations' collaboration and improve their effectiveness and efficiency.Design/methodology/approachThis research has applied a design approach using the collaboration engineering method, to design an online collaboration process for youth organizations to improve their effectiveness and efficiency. Using a self-developed group support systems (GSS) tool, the authors have tested the new collaboration process through an experiment among four youth organizations and conducted a survey afterwards.FindingsThe new process improves the collaboration effectiveness and efficiency. The research also identifies the detailed relationships among influencing factors in the online collaboration process.Originality/valueThere is little research in the context of computer mediated youth organization collaboration.

“…The South Asian population-members of which originated from countries of the South Asian subcontinent including but not limited to India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh-continues to expand its through partial integration (Talbani & Hasanali, 2000), while retaining strong roots and connection with their countries of origin (Sahoo & Shome, 2021). In this manner, many South Asian immigrants have been successful in maintaining their cultural practice and connection to their ancestral roots while partly acculturating to their new host country.…”

“…For South Asian immigrant communities living in the diaspora, connection and support also appeared in the form of virtual communities existing through social media platforms (Sahoo & Shome, 2021). These online communities often served as connections to their homelands, cultural and ethnic values, and provided space for conversations, information dissemination and informal learning (Sahoo & Shome, 2021). The usage of social media platforms helped many South Asian immigrants living in the diaspora retain their cultural roots while expanding their social capital through the virtual world.…”

“…In response to negotiating conflicting messaging from their immigrant parents, culture and the western society, many South Asian young adults responded by forming subcultures. The formation of subcultures resulted in unique youth identity construction informed by aspects of both their cultural identities and that of the host country (Sahoo & Shome, 2021). These subcultures made it more likely for participating first-generation South Asian youth and young adults to understand and accept their dual identities (Sahoo & Shome, 2021).…”

This action research study aimed to understand and overcome barriers of awareness and access to outof-the-classroom experiences for Bangladeshi and Pakistani female immigrant and first-generation (BPFIF) students at North Richmond College, a large urban public college located in the Northeastern United States. The study unfolded in two cycles entailing an analysis of the problem of practice followed by implementation of action step activities. Cycle 1 analysis found that South Asian female immigrant (SAFI) students at North Richmond encountered obstacles that immigrant and first-generation populations faced, including limited exposure to the American educational system, minimal parental guidance, and narrow social capital; while also experiencing culturally imposed gendered mobilityrelated restrictions that impacted access to and awareness of out-of-the-classroom experiences. Cycle 2 Action steps included the facilitation of an online community on WhatsApp-Brown Girl Magicfeatured stories from the South Asian Women at Work Speaker Series, and reflexivity exercises via weekly meetings and individual journaling. The cycle 2 goals were to increase awareness and foster access to out-of-the-classroom experiences while also strengthening participant self-beliefs. The study concluded that engagement in these action steps successfully increased awareness and enabled access to out-of-the-classroom activities through learning transfer, also strengthening participant self-beliefs around academic or future career pursuits and navigation of parental relationships. Additionally, engagement in these action steps exponentially increased participants' social capital, providing exposure to non-traditional or alternative paths for future planning. Implications for the organization included advancing equity for BPFIF students by offering interventions to facilitate awareness and access to outof-the-classroom experiences.
