这篇文章有助于发展青年赋权的关键社会理论，该理论强调集体努力创造社会政治变革。它借鉴了对四种青年赋权模式的分析，以及一项参与性研究的结果，该研究确定了赋予青年权力的关键方面：(1)一个欢迎的、安全的环境，(2)有意义的参与和参与，(3)青年和成年人之间的公平权力分享，(4)参与对人际和社会政治进程的批判性思考，(5)参与影响变革的社会政治进程，以及(6)综合的个人和社区一级的赋权。报告最后讨论了成果的衡量以及青年组织中赋权的挑战和机会。(C)2006，由The Haworth Press，Inc.保留所有权利。
This article contributes to the development of a critical social theory of youth empowerment which emphasizes collective efforts to create sociopolitical change. It draws upon analysis of four youth empowerment models, and upon findings from a participatory research study which identified key dimensions of critical youth empowerment: (1) a welcoming, safe environment, (2) meaningful participation and engagement, (3) equitable power-sharing between youth and adults, (4) engagement in critical reflection on interpersonal and sociopolitical processes, (5) participation in sociopolitical processes to affect change, and (6) integrated individual-and community-level empowerment. It concludes with discussion of the measurement of outcomes, and the challenges and opportunities for empowerment in youth organization. (C) 2006 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved.
