Description
Mobilizing Adults for Positive Youth Development addresses a critical challenge in youth development: the disconnect between adults’ expressed beliefs about young people and their actual behaviors toward them. Authored by E. Gil Clary and Jean E. Rhodes, this volume offers evidence-based strategies for closing this gap and creating communities that genuinely support adolescent flourishing.
The book examines why well-intentioned adults often fail to translate their positive beliefs about youth into meaningful action and engagement. Through research-driven insights, it presents practical frameworks and interventions designed to mobilize adult commitment to youth development. The authors draw on developmental science to show how communities can be restructured to better support young people across various contexts.
As part of The Search Institute Series on Developmentally Attentive Community and Society, this resource is essential for educators, youth workers, policymakers, and community leaders seeking to strengthen relationships between adults and youth and build more supportive developmental environments.
