- Summary:
-
Although the school-to-work and youth development fields come from very different beginnings, they share the goal of preparing all young people, including "high-risk youth," for adulthood by learning in context, actively participating in their own learning, and being challenged and supported to excel. Despite their shared visions for youth, many school-to-work and youth development efforts have felt strong pressures to defend their own "turf." It is, however, possible to cite several cases of model school-to-work programs and strategies that have consciously or unconsciously employed a "youth development lens" in designing and implementing their programs. Those examples confirm that the school-to-work movement can benefit and be strengthened by incorporating a youth development perspective to serving young people and building bridges not only with schools and employers but also with the "youth development field," specifically national and community-based youth organizations. Youth development organizations can help school-to-work system developers consider the impacts of neighborhoods, families, and other broader environmental impacts on their programs. Furthermore, youth development organizations are well positioned to offer ongoing training and technical assistance to school-to-work providers and to bring a full range of community leaders, practitioners, and youths into school-to-work planning/implementation discussions.
