Making Change unleashes the creative capacity of today's young people to build a positive future for themselves and their communities. Kruse weaves together research, case studies, and street wisdom from a broad swath of youth development research and practice, social enterprises, and community development to chart a path toward a new generation of transformative and integrative youth work that keeps young people, their strengths, and their energy at the
center.
