Young people find themselves in a unique role in our society, with an acute perception of the realities that surround them. They are filled with energy and eager to “get involved.”

They are deeply concerned with the problems confronting their families and friends and exhibit genuine enthusiasm when given an opportunity to help.  This enthusiasm, however, can quickly turn to apathy, anger, and contempt when the youth are denied meaningful roles in shaping their futures. They review this denial of confidence by adults with disdain, and too often, react by drifting aimlessly into the folds of delinquency and crime.

The systematic deprivation of respect felt by many youths can be counteracted. By affording them the opportunity to make serious decisions about their present state cooperatively. Youth development programs will provide young adults with avenues towards self- determination, and recognition in their community.

Traditional barriers between the community and the youth can also be dismantled through the mutual sponsorship and implementation of needed community projects. The privilege of working with young people merely succeeds in getting them “off the streets” when someone becomes committed. To positively liberate the energies of our youth, any related program must respect the child enough to place responsibility and trust in their hands.
