Amidst the social and economic conditions of the Great Depression, she had a vision for bringing to light the plight of youth and a means for addressing their problems. A national movement, leveraging the resources and peoplepower of youth groups from around the country, was born. The American Youth Congress (AYC) was founded in 1934 and became a major youth movement in the 1930s and the first youth organization iii PEACE, FREEDOM AND PROGRESS that would effectively take a seat at the table in addressing national public policy.

It considers four major programs: the American Legion’s Boys’ State and Boys’ Nation; American Legion Auxiliary’s Girls State/Nation; YMCA Youth and Government; the Junior Statesmen of America; and the Society for Ethical Culture’s Encampment for Citizenship (EFC), as well as smaller, likeminded initiatives. From small pilot projects, the programs grew into quasi-official youth movements for the United States responsible for training millions of adolescents and young people in the arts of government. Welding youth politics to the State through a diffuse network of democracy camps, these programs aimed to resolve fears that the next generation of American citizens would be too disaffected or too ignorant to assume leadership of the country and tend the wheels of government. In their hands-on, youth-centered approach to instruction, the programs incorporated tenets of Progressive education and borrowed from models of international youth work.

  • What Is Youth Participation?
    What is Youth Participation? Barry Checkoway Professor of Social Work and Urban Planning, School of Social Work, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor MI 48109, United States Tel.: +1 734 763 5960 Fax: +1 734 763 3372. E-mail address: [email protected]. Abstract Youth participation strengthens personal and social development, provides expertise for children and youth programs and services, and promotes a more democratic society, but questions arise about its most fundamental phenomena. Lacking agreement on its basic content, however, youth participation as a field of practice and subject of study will be limited. This paper examines what we know about youth participation, general propositions which are substantiated by research or practice, and unanswered questions or unresolved issues which remain for future work. It draws upon various academic disciplines and professional fields, in order to contribute to knowledge development and advance the field. 1. Introduction What do we know about youth participation? What are some general propositions which are substantia- ted by research or practice? What are some unanswered questions or unresolved issues which remain for future work? Youth participation is important, because when young people participate, it draws upon their expertise, enables them to exercise their rights as citizens, and contributes to a more democratic society. It also promotes their personal development, and provides them with substantive knowledge and practical skills. Youth participation is important, but questions arise about its most fundamental phenomena. What is participation, who are the participants, what do they do, and with what outcomes? When we say that so- meone participates, is it about “community service,” or “social action,” or “civic engagement”? Lacking agreement on its basic content, a field of practice or subject of study will be limited.

HEILMEIER has been approved for the Department of Counseling and Higher Education and The Gladys W. and David H. Patton College of Education by Pete C. Mather Professor of Counseling and Higher Education Renée A. Middleton Dean, The Gladys W. and David H. Patton College of Education 3 Abstract HEILMEIER, BRIAN P., Ph.D., December 2020, Higher Education Role Conflict around Disruptive Campus Activism Director of Dissertation: Peter C. Mather Disruptive activism has been a part of college campus since 1766 when the Bad Butter Rebellion at Harvard took place (Dickey, 2016; Ireland, 2012; Moore, 1976). More recently institutions have been facing an increase in disruptive campus activism (Dickey, 2016). When disruptive campus activism occurs on a college campus it is often the student affairs professionals that are asked to help manage the situation. These professionals serve as both the advisors to the student activism and campus managers representing the university. Understanding how student affairs professionals reconcile the role they play will add to the existing research on activism on college campuses. The findings of this study show that operationalizing a specific role can be challenging when it comes to disruptive campus activism. Reconciling the role is also challenging, especially if you don’t have the preferred role of advisor.

Thereport briefly sketches the political and romantic Student Left during thedecade of the sixties; delineates the characteristics of non-campus-based youthful radicalism as exemplified by the action and thoughtof the Young Communist League between 1922 and 1943; explores the nature of the student movements which emerged during the immediately ensuing period; and specifies resemblances and differences between thepast and present in order to better anticipate the future. Whilemuch of the data of the study are derived from conventional bibliographical sources, the main historical sections are based on an intensive analysis of all named issues of youth-oriented radicalperiodicals or newspapers. Findings for both past and present youth groups indicate they were preoccupied with social issues ofpeace, poverty, civil liberties, and racial discrimination, and withcampus issues of corporative control of the university, academic freedom, economic issues, and academic offerings.

The students made their way past some 300 policemen as well as rivaling communists, who were distributing anti-socialist literature, and into the famous arena for a political rally. The Garden was suffused in red-red flags, red handkerchiefs, and red armbands, representing the idiosyncratic socialist color. 1 And there was a buzz of anticipation for a lesser known candidate, Norman Thomas, a socialist, to take the stage. Amid the band music and synchronized cheers led by students from Columbia University, NYU, and City College, Thomas appeared in front of the crowd totaling over 20,000.

A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. July, 2004. 311 pages. Advisor: Brian Sturm This study explores the library-as-sanctuary, a motif adopted by many in the library community, but not explored elaborately prior to this work. It applies this motif, its history, and recastings to youth services of inner-city public libraries. After studying the context of contemporary low-income urban youths’ lives, a detailed discussion follows with attention to the implications of the sanctuary motif to inner-city youth services. Tensions and cohesions are highlighted. Inspired by the motif, recommendations are made for spatial design, collection development, programming, personnel, advocacy, and public policy.

Deters Submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Education Degree in Higher Education The University of Toledo May 2010 The student protests of the late 1960s and early 1970s were the most widespread in American history. Students around the country organized themselves in response to political, social and cultural developments. War in Vietnam, the hippie movement, generational conflict, Communism, the Civil Rights Movement, and rapid growth and bureaucratization of American higher education, all had an influence on the generation of young people entering college. Towards the end of the 1960s, student protest tactics shifted from relatively peaceful rallies and sit-ins to more radical tactics, often involving disruption, property destruction, and violence. Higher education institutions across the nation, especially in Ohio, were affected by student protest and in some cases suffered significant property damage and violence. Similar to many other campuses across the country, and across Ohio, the University of Toledo (UT) also experienced incidents of student protest in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
