<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">This article explores dilemmas that arise when using a participatory, experiential neighborhood problem-solving and planning program in settings that have different expectations and beliefs about youth and adults partnering in organizational and community decision-making. Using Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) ecology of human development and Wong, Zimmerman, and Parker’s (2010) pyramid of youth participation, a series of dilemmas are explored. These dilemmas include: negotiating challenges of power; scaling up youth-adult partnerships into organizational decision-making and governance; reconciling tensions between practices, principles, and values when disseminating a program from one organization to another; dealing with organizational events that occur outside the youth program; and succumbing to pressure to achieve funder-derived outcomes. Two insights emerge from the analysis of these dilemmas. First, young people embrace adult-provided structure when adults and young people are not ready to work in emancipatory youth-adult partnerships. Second, as we move toward emancipatory youth-adult partnerships, the developmental sphere of youth programs has to expand to include the activities, relationships, and roles that traditionally have been limited to organizational leadership and governance. Likewise the developmental sphere of the governing body has to incorporate the activities, relationships, and roles of what has typically been the youth program.</span></h1>

It begins with a discussion of how food can foster community building, citing as an example the restaurant as an inclusive community-gathering place. It then considers civic engagement among adolescents, focusing on the important roles played by associations and schools in the civic development of young people. It also looks at political voice, and especially who frames political discussions; the issue of civility among public officials; gender differences in the conversational dynamics among state legislators; national calls for greater civility and conversations about important topics; and civility among U.S. congresswomen. The chapter concludes with an analysis of diplomacy in the State Department's culinary diplomacy program and the barbecue diplomacy of presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and George W. Bush.

AbstractSoundSurfers is a youth-led program of Foróige Ireland that provides a safe, dynamic and creative environment for young people aged from ten to eighteen years to empower themselves through music technology, practice and public performance. This article analyses young people's experiences of SoundSurfers within the context of recent research on effective youth programs. It demonstrates how the program engages young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and describes how national education organisations such as Camara Education Ireland and its TechSpace program can successfully equip skilled youth workers for this work. By fostering a diverse community of participants supported by skilled youth workers, young people can develop mutual respect and share common interests through peer-supported activities. The authors illustrate how offering mainstream creative provision enables a process that builds interdependence and empathy in young people. The SoundSurfers inter-agency approach is also highlighted to emphasise the positive opportunities and outcomes that can arise from this approach.

The paper described the conceptual underpinnings of two community based programs designed to serve drug users and abusers. Differences and similarities between the two programs, which are located in distinctly different socio-economic neighborhoods, are explored. The authors describe through actual excerpts from case material how the programs work, and the key role of young people as primary helping agents. Both are multi-modality programs. One is designed as a therapeutic community project, while the other uses a community building model. The authors examine some core issues in both programs and discuss the implications of these concerns.

Management of scouting program in schools appears to be challenging despite being a popular youth program that supports the holistic development of children and young people. This study identifies the importance of the school scouting program and reports the findings of a mixed mode study involving the development of guidelines to enhance effective management of scouting program, in schools in Bhutan. Applying PDCA (Plan-Do- Check and Act) model, the research catered to study the management of scouting program using 178 scout leaders and 4 experts in the field of scouting. The researcher used quantitative and qualitative methods to collect data that are subjected to statistical analysis. The result analysis by the participating scout leaders and experts revealed that guidelines to enhance effective management of scouting program in schools has been found imperative to strengthen the school scouting program. The study has profound implications for development of guidelines with respect to the use of PDCA (Plan-Do- Check and Act) model for the improvement of the scouting program. This article thus makes significant contributions to the management of school scouting program literature extending it to the school-based youth programs in the Bhutanese education context and beyond.

To assess and describe the emotional experience among nurses caring for COVID-19 patients in the Hail region, Saudi Arabia, a qualitative research design using a phenomenological approach in selected hospitals Hail Region was performed. The researcher identified 30 nurses who provided care for COVID-19 patients. The interview was conducted in person by following the precautionary guidelines or by WhatsApp Application system and the analysis done using Colaizzi's 7-step method. In the present study, the demographic data revealed that 87% of the nurses were females and the remaining participants were Saudi male nurses. Most of the participants (50%) were in the age group 24–29 years. About 66% were Indian, 17% were Filipina, and 17% were Saudi nurses. Moreover, 50% of those nurses have 5–9 years of experience and 37% are young nurses who have 1–4 years of experience. Thus, it is obvious that well-experienced staff are involved in this pandemic duty. Regarding the marital status of the nurses, 50% are married and 50% single. Among 63% of the nurses in this study either unmarried or married without children; 24% of them have a single child; and 13% have more than 2 children. For those who were living with family, the hospital administration arranged certain measures for isolating them during duty. The emotional experience among nurses caring for COVID-19 patients which were narrated by the staffs was transliterated, and the findings were shown based on 4 themes with subthemes as follows: enhancing the negative emotions and feelings at an initial phase, managing coping mechanism, changing anxiety to evolution, and developing positive emotions and at the same time gradually diminishing negative ones. The respondents able to recognize two sets of emotions: One positive and the other one negative. Self-coping styles, psychological well-being, and emotional stability has been developed. While comparing to the other studies the health care workers must be mandatory in crisis management and preparedness. These emotions will then form the foundation of the description and assessment of the overall emotional experiences of the nurses when the Ministry of Health (MOH) decides to enforce a mental wellness program for the country’s nurses.

Opening with the documentary Bully and its movement campaign, The BULLY Project, which mobilized educators, parents, and young people to change norms around youth bullying, this chapter introduces the ecology, motivations, and practices of story-based movement builders—the individuals and organizations who empower and mobilize publics to come together in pursuit of dialogue and change, inspired by documentaries. At the center of this ecology are documentary filmmakers themselves—directors and producers who create the stories and bring them to the public eye. Beyond critical acclaim, the social influence of their stories is enabled by two central groups of professionals involved in social-issue documentary as a community of practice: the enabling civic connectors and enabling institutions that supply resources and community-building convenings, and the community and impact engagement strategists who work alongside filmmakers to transform their work into engines of community empowerment.
