“…First, the potential for programs which integrate PYD program design components and strategies to build CCR and leadership skills simultaneously warrant additional exploration, especially for vulnerable populations of youth (Durlack & Weissberg, 2007;Frasier et al, 2004;Kress, 2006 (Knaggs et al, 2015;Lerner, 2005). Further, there is a need to utilize mixed methods approaches when evaluating PYD programming (Barcelona & Quinn, 2011;Kurtines et al, 2008).…”

Urban youth living in poverty are less socially and academically prepared to access postsecondary education compared to their more affluent peers. College and career readiness (CCR) programs traditionally focus on skill-building to assist with college and financial aid applications, test taking, and career exploration. The Youth Leadership Academy (YLA) program includes these components, but also incorporates positive youth development (PYD) and leadership skill development strategies to further prepare urban youth for college and career through internship, service, and leadership opportunities. Using a mixed methods approach, this study explored youth perceptions of the YLA, evaluating the influence of the program on youth outcomes and distilling what, if any, program design components contributed to their growth and learning. Qualitative findings suggest participation in the YLA was perceived to support growth in communication skills, social skills, readiness for leadership roles, and preparation and knowledge for future college and career opportunities. Additionally, quantitative results demonstrate positive, significant increases from pre- to post-program test in leadership, communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills for youth. Program design components shown to support positive outcomes included positive relationships with peer and adults, skill-building sessions, and applied internship experiences. Findings suggest that PYD approaches with CCR and leadership skill development programming may promote positive social outcomes for vulnerable youth. Implications for intervention, practice, and future research are discussed.

“…Hamilton named this issue in the late 1990s, yet we still lack consensus. In this volume, Barcelona and Quinn (2011) anchor their understanding of youth development in the world of practice. They describe youth development as an approach to working with young people that is grounded in the social and group nature of programs.…”

“…This includes research on sense of purpose, assets, motivation, active engagement, systems theory of context influences, resilience, thriving, diversity and inclusion. Barcelona and Quinn (2011) point out that professional journals often ignore practice and fail to provide sorting mechanisms to identify the processes and experiences that are the most important in the day-to-day practice with youth.…”

This introduction to the special issue highlights the youth development research and practice base that influenced the field in the 20th century and presents some historical context for the practice and study of youth work. Next, it provides an overview of the articles which offer a retrospective account of youth development from how youth development has been studied, understood and measured to how youth development practice has evolved to support, engage and address the needs of young people. The introduction concludes with reflections stimulated by the process of reviewing the manuscripts and working with the authors on their contributions. Three themes emerged as good grist for the 21st century conversations moving forward: 1) the divergent perspectives on definition, dimensions of practice and accountability, 2) the value of translational scholarship bridging science and complex practice, and 3) the importance of leveraging systems support for field building.

Abstract:Youth is the most versatile and active segment of an economy and are a vital source of creativity and innovation. This paper is concerned with the establishment of a relationship between youth and sustainable development. The major issue under investigation is to assess the contribution of youth towards the nations growth and prosperity. We have undertaken an extensive literature review which is considered as a base for deriving the interpretative structural model (ISM). It is an approach which drives the researchers to study various aspects and correlate variables. This paper reflects an understanding of the various areas of youth contribution towards sustainable development in a hierarchical manner. To the researchers, this survey has significant insights into the relationship between youth and sustainability. It also highlights the important variables which have been arrived at, based on systematic literature review as well as ISM approach and MICMAC analysis; coupled with the interrelationship between the varied elements of the concept of youth contribution towards sustainable development. In this paper, the researchers have attempted to answer the research questions if there exists a relation between youth and sustainable development and whether a research model can be developed based on literature review and theoretical framework for further research directions.
