Making Connections:
Youth Program Strategies for a Generation of Challenge

Marion Pines, Editor

This book offers program descriptions and analyses of the major youth development and training strategies for at-risk youth that have been replicated nationally. Nine key organizations illustrate how different program models can be used to further youth development goals such as education, life skills development, enhancing employment opportunities, and increasing access to comprehensive services and support.
