How to Engage Young People: Lessons from Lowell, MA. December 17, 2012 Sopheap Linda C. Sou, Darcie DeAngelo, Masada Jones, and Monica Veth
“A youth organizations success depends on young peoples participation within the local community. Many of the issues facing young people today reflect a poor engagement with community politics, cultural identity formation, and risk-taking behaviors based on that identity formation. The Teen Block was founded in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1990 with the goal of addressing these issues. Since that time, it has served over 8,000 young people, integrating social, behavioral, mental, and physical health.”
