Here is a short but insight packed article on the effect of youth engaging in community leadership
http://www.theinnovationcenter.org/docs/cbyl.pdf

I see the U.S. government spending lots of money on obesity education and alcohol/drug prevention efforts, few of which prepare adults and communities to engage youth in the community leadership process. I don't see much federal support for youth leadership. It seems if we made room for young people at decision making tables, they would be healthier and our communities would be stronger.

What do you think? What is your experience?
