Witt Committee Members, Corliss Outley Manda Rosser Head of Department, David Scott May 2008 Major Subject: Recreation, Park, and Tourism Sciences iii ABSTRACT Fostering Youth Engagement: A Model of Youth Voice, Empowerment, and Participation. (May 2008) Karen Kimberly Maynard, B.S., University of South Alabama Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Peter A. Witt Youth-adult partnerships are collaborations between adults and youth in the decision-making and planning processes. When adults enable youth to be a part of the decision-making and planning processes, youth voice, empowerment, and participation become important tools for facilitating engagement. Better understanding these processes can be beneficial for practitioners and programmers. Incorporating these tools increases support and opportunity for youth developmental benefits and increases program retention rates. This thesis focuses on better understanding the relationship between youth voice, empowerment, and participation and critical factors in developing youth engagement and utilizing the power of adult-youth partnerships in youth development. -

A rich picture is painted of this ongoing struggle through a case study of the Australian Greens with vivid descriptions presented on organisational leadership issues by Australian state and federal Green members of parliaments. What emerges from the data is the Australian Green MPs’ conundrum in retaining an egalitarian and participatory democracy ethos while seeking to expand their existing frame of leadership to being both more pragmatic and oriented towards active involvement in government. -
