Beschreibung

In Activating Youth as Change Agents, editors Amy L. Cook and Ian P. Levy describe the applications of Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) as a youth-oriented group process where school counselors collaborate alongside students in developmentally relevant ways to achieve their goals toward personal growth and positive school-community improvement. The book provides practitioners and counselors-in-training with group-counseling skills focused on action and how to engage in social justice efforts both locally at their school and in their communities.
