    Open AccessShepherd Zeldin, Linda A Camino et al.ARTICLEAnálise Psicológica2012

    For more than a decade, many researchers and practitioners have endorsed a “positive youth development” approach, which views adolescents as active contributors to their own development and as assets to their communities.

  • From Periphery to Center: Pathways for Youth Civic Engagement in the Day-To-Day Life of Communities

    Linda A Camino, Linda Camino et al.ARTICLEApplied Developmental Science2002

    Inclusive participation is a primary component of civil society. Yet opportunities and pathways for youth civic engagement remain limited for youth.

However, this state of affairs is being challenged by youth and adults…
