The Freechild Project
The Freechild Project is another group advocating involving children and youth in social change projects, highlighting a clear distinction I have found throughout much of my research: all though there are many groups advocating for this model of activism, groups who actually practice this model are much harder to find. They, too, have a list of principles of authentic youth involvement as a part of a much larger toolbox. This website actually has a rather staggering list of resources, but unfortunately it does not have a list of organizations that follow its principles.

Small correction: There are 1000s of orgs that actually do the work of youth/adult partnerships, and a handful that write about it online. We form a core of folks who are supporting local, community-based organizations that don't have huge web presences. You can look at http://freechild.org/SIYI/Webliography.htm for a list of those groups.
ReplyDeleteYou can read my summary of what youth/adult partnerships look like in Washington State for an example of actual on-the-ground details. Its at http://www.freechild.org/WYVH.htm
Good luck - I like what you're doing here.
What happened to your effort here Taylor? Did you complete the assignment? I would be interested in a download of all your findings, and perhaps sharing it on the Freechild website. Drop me a line if you're interested in that - adam@freechild.org
