Leadership at the Threshold, 2012
Enhanced Participation
The term “leadership” appears frequently in the language and literature of youth development, and for many after-school programs it is one of many expected developmental outcomes for youth. What characterizes youth leadership development? What do youth participants identify as its key elements? Turning to youth who have been identified as leaders, this article looks at what they have to say about their own experience as emerging leaders.
ART-IVATE Toolkit
How can the ARTS and CREATIVE EXPRESSION be used as powerful tools for learning and engagement? How can the passion found in creativity move participants from inspiration to action as leaders for social change? This toolkit was designed to share one of El Puente’s core frameworks in the area of arts and social justice – The Creative Justice Approach – which has been honed through 30+ years of practice. The Global Justice Institute works to codify and clarify all of El Puente’s best practices AND to translate those practices for use in the wider field.
Leadership at the Threshold
What experiences do youth have in the process of emergent leadership development? And what can the adults around them learn from those experiences? Divided into chapters on the arts, voice and agency, and mentoring relationships, this volume identifies opportunities for “enhanced participation” in areas that lead to the development of leadership capacity.
