youth of color and community institutions. It is important to note that
each of these chapters will have case illustrations to concretize key
concepts raised in the previous two sections. It is important that
community youth have a wide range of choices as to projects because of a
range of issues, talents, and needs. This section will provide readers with
a range of projects that illustrate the central thrust of this proposed
book. Not every organization can or will provide a range of projects.
However, collectively there may be a comprehensive system that can be put
in place over a period of time to take into account local circumstances and
demographics. Urban communities with high numbers of youth who are
undocumented will emphasize certain projects over others, for example.
