Youth-adult partnership is the title of a conscious relationship which establishes and sustains intergenerational equity between young people and adults. ==Activities== "Youth-adult partnerships happen when young people and adults become engaged together in their communities; they are relationships between youth and adults where there is mutuality in teaching, learning, and action."〔Zeldin, S., McDaniel, A., Topitzes, D., & Lorens, M.B. (2001). "Bringing young people to the table: Effects on adults and youth organizations," ''CYD Journal, 2''(2) p. 20-27.〕 These relationships usually occur within youth organizations, where they are typified by youth voice, and in democratic schools, where they are typified by student voice. Youth/adult partnerships often display a high degree of youth rights and autonomy, and is often synonymous with meaningful youth participation. According to the State of Texas, youth-adult partnerships have allowed young people to assume the roles of advisors and consultants to youth organizations, political lobbyists, community organizers, grant (money) decision-makers, nonprofit board directors, and as direct youth service providers.〔(2002) (Youth/Adult Partnerships Guide ) Texas Network of Youth Services and Prevention and Early Intervention/Community Youth Development, Division of the Texas, Department of Protective and Regulatory Services.〕 Youth-adult partnerships are said to allow young people to * Express themselves publicly * Gain respect for adult allies * Find ways to express their creativity * Work for a good cause * Think more critically * Be a valued asset to the project and the community〔(n.d.)(Dialogues Across Nebraska: Youth Adult Partnerships ) University of Nebraska Rural Initiative.〕 Research consistently shows that in addition to concrete outcomes, youth/adult partnerships require specific cultural and structural supports within organizations and communities in order to succeed.〔Zeldin, S. and Petrokubi, J. (2006) "Understanding Innovation: Youth-Adult Partnerships in Decision Making," ''The Prevention Researcher. 13''1. Pages 11-15.〕 Youth voice is commonly recognized as an essential element of effective youth/adult partnerships. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Youth-adult partnership」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
