This book describes the efforts of 10 state projects, funded by the Youth Advocacy Projects of the Teacher Corps, which brought students, teachers, school administrators, community members, youth service agencies, state education officials, and university personnel together to create more effective services for troubled youth. The first two chapters focus on the nature of the projects, their working hypotheses, and the use of community-based education programs for youth. The program design, goals, structure, and skill-building components of each project are presented in detail. The evaluation results across all projects are reviewed in an examination of the governance structure, social organization, emerging role relationships, training modes, and delivery systems.
