Trends in Youth Development: Visions, Realities and Challenges (International Series in Outreach Scholarship)

This important work presents contributions from leading researchers in the field of youth development. These papers address issues around what happens to American youth as they emerge from their pre-teen years.
Under the editorship of Peter Benson of Search Institute - a non-profit organization dedicated to the notion that our youth should be seen as assets, rather than liabilities - this book stands as an eloquent summary of the best ways to aid youth in their social, educational, and career development.
