This book provides descriptions of youth involvement projects that have made significant contributions to young people, their schools, and their communities. Each description is intended to provide information for starting and operating similar youth projects. They explain how a particular project began, mention the important problems encountered, and indicate the kind of support needed for operating the project. Each chapter has a special focus and contains in depth descriptions of three appropriate programs and shorter descriptions of additional supplementary projects. Chapter topics include (1) Youth as Curriculum Builders, (2) Youth as Teachers, (3) Youth as Community Manpower, (4) Youth as Entrepreneurs, (5) Youth as Community Problem-Solvers, (6) Youth as Communicators, and (7) Youth as Resources for Youth. The final chapter offers suggestions on how to judge quality programs, tips for getting a project started, and necessary adult leadership qualities. (DE)
