Summary:
Designing Student Leadership Programs arose as a result of an ongoing
effort to prepare adults who work with educating youth leaders. It is
set up as a "guidebook" to be used within staffs or as part of focus
groups or discussions as a program/school evaluates or establishes
their youth leadership program. This guidebook is based on the belief
that youth deserve as much attention, preparation, celebration, and
the resources to become leaders, as are dedicated to preparing
business, political, and community leaders. As a guidebook, there are
pages which consist of lists of ideas and/or statements which have
been gathered and tested in various youth leadership programs. There
are also pages which consist of provocative questions to consider
when establishing a program or evaluating existing efforts. The most
effective use of this book is using it with groups of people (adults
and youth) rather than having only one person design a program in a
vacuum. Throughout the book are Notes pages so that you can jot ideas
and issues to consider. You are strongly encouraged to use this book
as you would a notebook...writing on the pages and keeping track of
ideas. Often when undertaking a project -- and establishing a strong
youth leadership program is a project -- we write our thoughts down
or talk about them with others, but neglect to take action because
the ideas somehow get lost. Using this book to gather all of the
issues into one place can assist with streamlining your efforts.
There is ample commentary which could accompany each page and
activity in the book, which has not been included so that each
program can use the information as it relates to specific efforts.
Some pages may be interpreted slightly different by an individual
working in a school-based setting versus one in a community-based
setting. Ultimately, the book is designed to prompt and challenge you
to evaluate all aspects of preparing the youth with whom you work, as
well as provide you with ample resources and ideas for successful
implementation. Includes leadership activities and contact
information for numerous organizations/programs.
