摘要 来自边缘化和被剥夺权利社区的年轻人可以通过公民参与和社会政治行动来倡导社会正义。使用批判的社会理论来审查青年赋权计划，建立在我们对社会政治制度和压迫的理解的基础上，并提供了一个镜头来审视变革机制，同时将理论应用于实践。 Jennings、Parra-Medina、Messias 和 McLoughlin (2006) 确定了关键的青年赋权计划的六个维度，这为审查青年赋权计划提供了一个框架。本文介绍了在城市社区的高危青少年中实施的青少年赋权计划，并从这六个维度对其进行了研究，并提供了一个如何使用该框架批判性地审查青少年赋权计划的模型。
ABSTRACT Youths from marginalized and disenfranchised communities can be empowered to advocate for social justice through civic engagement and sociopolitical action. Examining youth empowerment programs, using critical social theory, builds upon our understanding of sociopolitical systems and oppression and provides a lens to examine mechanisms of change while applying theory to practice. Jennings, Parra-Medina, Messias, and McLoughlin (2006) have identified six dimensions of critical youth empowerment programs, which provide a framework for examining youth empowerment programs. This article presents the Teen Empowerment program, as implemented with high-risk youths in urban communities, and examines it along these six dimensions and provides a model for how to critically examine youth empowerment programs using this framework.
