虽然有几项研究审查了青年环境行动经验的学习成果，但对激励从业人员让青年参与创造积极环境和社会变革的行动的目标知之甚少，也不知道从业人员如何看待成功。本研究透过现象学访谈，探讨环境行动者使用环境行动进路的目的。在这项调查中，谁从事青年在行动中解决一系列的环境问题，在不同的方案和社区背景下，在美国，从业者表示，激励他们的教育实践的多方面的目标。从实践者的目的和对成功的看法来解释他们的故事，有助于建立一个将环境行动与公民和可持续社区的发展联系起来的概念框架。虽然其他人已经描述了环境行动的阶段和学习成果，本调查说明了环境行动的潜力，同时实现个人和社区层面的影响。
Although several studies have examined learning outcomes of environmental action experiences for youth, little is known about the aims motivating practitioners to involve youth in action creating positive environmental and social change, nor how practitioners perceive success. This research explored through phenomenological interviews practitioners’ purposes for using an environmental action approach. Practitioners in this inquiry, who engaged youth in action addressing a range of environmental issues in varied programmatic and community contexts in the US, expressed multifaceted aims motivating their educational practice. Interpretation of practitioners’ stories with respect to their purposes and perceptions of success contributed to a conceptual framework relating environmental action to the development of citizens and sustainable communities. Whereas others have described the stages and learning outcomes of environmental action, this inquiry illustrates the potential of environmental action for concurrently realizing individual and community level impacts.
