As critical as youth participation is to the notion of positive youth development, it remains a subject that defies easy description. What does it mean in different cultures? What inhibits and encourages youth participation? What lessons have we learned?

What Works in Youth Participation: Case Studies from Around the World explores some of these critical questions in nine case essays, written by authors of diverse ages, nationalities, and perspectives. They speak candidly, and often quite personally, about their experiences in the field, and offer valuable lessons for practitioners and policy makers alike on what works and what barriers stand in the way of further progress.
