Why a focus on community?

• Society loses out when youth fall

through the cracks in institutions that

could prepare them for a productive

future. Community counts – for

better or worse – in response to

these institutional gaps and unmet

needs for support, care and

opportunities for healthy

development.

Implications of the National Research Council's Study

  • Milbrey McLaughlin, Stanford University, Community Counts

Background

Social forces have changed family and

community life

  • Informal community support for young people has weakened - High rates of family mobility - Greater anonymity in neighborhoods - Extensive media exposure to themes of violence and heavy use of

drugs & alcohol

  • Deterioration and disorganization of neighborhoods and schools

Implications of the National Research Council's Study

Background

Youth Development:

A Paradigm Shift

  • Addressing youth

problems is critical…

  • But, problem free is

not fully prepared

Implications of the National Research Council's Study

Positive Development

Primary Prevention

High Risk

Treatment

Background

Findings about Adolescent Well-Being

  • All youth need a variety of

experiences to develop to their full

potential.

  • Some youth are doing very well.
  • Some youth are taking dangerous risks

and doing poorly.

  • Some youth have unmet needs and

are particularly at risk of participating

in problem behaviors.

Report Findings

Key Take-Aways

– Healthy development requires

building a combination of

assets across asset domains

– Having more assets is better

than having few

Implications of the National Research Council's Study

Report Findings

Physical and Psychological Safety

  • Supportive Practices
    • Increase safe peer interactions
    • Decrease unsafe or confrontational peer

interactions

  • Regular check-ins with youth

Implications of the National Research Council's Study

Opposite Poles

 Physical and health dangers

 Feelings of fear and insecurity

 Sexual and physical harassment and

verbal abuse

Report Findings

Opportunities to Belong

  • Supportive Practices
    • Opportunities for social inclusion for all

groups

  • Active outreach to increase diversity of

participants

  • Encouragement of strong positive social

identity formation

  • Support for cultural and multi-cultural

competencies

Implications of the National Research Council's Study

Opposite Poles

 Exclusionary practices by staff

 Ignoring exclusionary behavior

among the participants

 Tolerance of bullying or other

discriminatory behavior

Report Findings

Key Take-Aways

– Young people are influenced by a range

of experiences that occur in a range of

settings

– Those settings that have a positive

impact share several important

characteristics

– Youth thrive when messages and

supports from school, family and

community are coherent and mutually

reinforcing

Implications of the National Research Council's Study

Report Findings

Where We Stand Now

– We know a lot about what works

– We know much less about how to create

and sustain programs high in experiences

that work

– Current funding and policy climates makes

it very difficult for staff to create and

sustain supports and opportunities for

positive youth development

Implications of the National Research Council's Study

Report Implications

Recommendations for Evaluation

– Should be appropriately calibrated to

the attributes of the program, the

available resources, and the goals of

the evaluation

– Funding should ensure programs are

well designed initially and then

evaluated in the most appropriate way

Implications of the National Research Council's Study

Report Implications

Recommendations for Research

– Fund comprehensive longitudinal

and experimental research on the

personal and social assets that

shape youth development

– Promote more rigorous research

to identify key elements of

programs promoting youth well-

being and development, with

particular attention to the needs

of an increasingly diverse youth

population
