Based on a case study of training programs in Ohio community action agencies which serve economically disadvantaged youth from ages 14 to 21, this document contains a collection of innovative ideas and programs. The programs presented are divided into three main sections: in-school programs, out-of-school programs, and other ideas. Most of the programs described are currently in operation in a community action agency but are not widespread across the state. Each program description includes a program title, suggested funding sources, a summary of the general nature of the program, and a special notes/comments section. Nine program ideas are described in the in-school and out-of-school program sections. The third section contains ten innovative suggestions for improving the operation of individual programs as well as overall agency functioning. (BM)
