Planning to edit
Hello, I am a student in global youth studies and I will be editing this page this semester! My goal is to make this page more than just a list of countries what they do regarding youth empowerment. I am planning on creating a more comprehensive definition of empowerment, discussing what empowerment is and the 4 dimensions of empowerment that programs can look at. Then I will examine the types of youth empowerment programs and give some examples that are inclusive to the global south instead of just the global north.

Edits
For my class, I have added four new sections to the article. They are elements of empowerment, types of programs and examples of programs, the benefits of youth empowerment programs and the critiques of youth empowerment. I have throughly researched these topics and the information I have added sheds more light on the theoretical aspects of youth empowerment, the types of empowerment and examples of organizations around the world. I have also rewritten the lead paragraph so that it now has a more encompassing definition and explanation. Please comment on the talk page if you would like to add anything. This article could be expanded by writing about more youth empowerment programs, and discussing more benefits or critiques of youth empowerment. Jennakor (talk) 20:45, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Youth empowerment programs The Youth Empowerment Solutions or YES program applies the theory of empowerment to an after-school-program intended for middle-school learners. It uses an active learning curriculum that help youngsters in gaining self-confidence, collaborate with grownups, and create positive change in the community. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5816934/ Youth Empowerment Solutions employs an evidence-based approach providing young people with opportunities for significant involvement in preventing youth violence as well as initiate changes in the community. Elements of YES include youth empowerment activities, training for adult volunteers and staff, and community development activities with youth design and adult support. http://yes.sph.umich.edu/about-us/what-is-yes/ Youth development Youth development is based on the Theories of Youth Development and Attachment. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/240242139_Enhancing_Local_Capacity_and_Youth_Involvement_in_the_Community_Development_Process The Theory of Youth Development is anchored on building strong communities where the young people can get support from adults. Resilient communities have the capability to help the youth. On the contrary, non-resilient communities lack that capability. Creating this kind of communities enable the youth to deal with and adapt to adversities. http://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780195187243.001.0001/oxfordhb-9780195187243-e-014 The Theory of Attachment refers to the deep-seated and lasting emotional bond connecting a person to another person across time and space. It does not need to be shared or common, according to John Bowlby. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/development-and-psychopathology/issue/development-and-psychopathology-a-vision-realized/655094E8EFABF60DB079433E30866D14 LOBOSKYJOJO (talk) 01:20, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
