“…Nevertheless, research continues to make the case for more and clearer involvement of young people in community activities and organizations. Some argue the need for young people to be viewed in terms of their strengths and thereby encouraged to assume leadership and ownership over such activities (Checkoway et al, 2003;McLaughlin, Irby, & Langman, 1994).…”

The purpose of this research was to examine the extent to which social support and wider community perceptions/engagements among adolescents are connected with well-being. We compared adolescents in two different societal contexts, Florida in the United States and County Offaly, in Ireland, and posed the questions: What are the key predictors of subjective well-being from the various sources of support, and to what extent does the impact of social support on well-being vary across these two societies? Questionnaires were completed and returned for 607 respondents (322 in the Irish study and 285 in the Florida study). A variety of scales were adopted and designed to operationalize our key concepts of: Adolescent well-being, social support, school satisfaction, neighbourhood quality of life and community/voluntary participation. Our results indicate that informal social support and school satisfaction were the strongest predictors of youth well-being in both locations, despite some differences in terms of individual influencing variables. From informal sources, emotional support from friends and advice/concrete/esteem support from parents emerged as important predictive dimensions. Liking school, perceptions of doing well in school were the main predictors of school satisfaction in Ireland while, in Florida, student camaraderie and the experience of bullying emerged as significant.

“…Therefore, the tasks youth perform should help the team meet overall goals and objectives. This type of experience may build civic competency, social connectedness, and social responsibility among youth (Checkoway et al, 2003). After the completion of projects, adults should engage youth in a reflection process to analyze what went well and what could be improved upon in the future (Huebner, 1998).…”

“…The Bright side of youth bulge can be seen by focusing not on young people as problems but on young people as assets (El-Tawila, 2002;Checkoway et al, 2003) and social capital. Young men and women in the Arab region today are the healthiest, and educated; thus they hold the potential to make a considerable contribution to the human development and human security of the region.…”
