Child Trends
This case study focuses on how the Hartford Generation Work local partnership adapted its efforts to more authentically engage young adults by establishing a youth advisory council called the Young Legends to help shape its work; also discussed are the benefits and challenges of the partnership's efforts. Provided are examples of ways in which Young Legends has elevated young people's voices and valued and compensated their work, and describe how the Young Legends' input has influenced action and change. This is one of five case studies in a series that examines how local partnerships in the Generation Work initiative have scaled up and supported the use of Positive Youth Development (PYD) approaches in programs for young people who seek high-quality training and employment. [For the other case studies in this series, see Cleveland (ED613973), Seattle (ED613974), Indianapolis (ED613935), and Philadelphia (ED613975).]
