Opis

Most youth civic engagement evaluation studies fail to reach beyond specific audiences, thereby hindering the diffusion of evaluation practice wisdom around effective methods to evaluate complex social innovations. This book therefore provides multiple case studies of youth civic engagement evaluation designs and straightforward guidance for designing youth civic engagement evaluations.

Recenzje

This book highlights and streamlines the importance of youth finding their purpose with civic youth work, where their time and resources are applied in areas that are near and dear to them, and where their attributes can be utilized toward meaningful change.... [It] is a must read for students in undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as professionals involved in social sciences and policy, to provide them with knowledge for an evolving need and with an innovative model.
