Strengthening and Sustaining Relationships Between Schools and Youth Development Organizations

Strengthening and Sustaining Relationships Between Schools and Youth Development Organizations - "For two years, the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine studied community-level programs for youth, synthesized the research, and reached a consensus about what skills youth should develop and what environments help youth acquire them. The report’s conclusions about a good community program could be applied, as well, to a good school. For over a decade, recognition of the synergy between healthy schools and healthy communities has been building rapidly, inspired by local needs and resources, informed by examples of what others were doing, and relying on common sense about the supports that should be available to children and youth."
