Brockton named one of the nation's 100 Best Communities for Young People - 0 views
-
Brockton achieved national recognition as one of America's Promise Alliance's 100 Best Communities for Young People presented by ING for its initiatives to help young people. The competition recognizes communities across the country that focus on reducing high school dropout rates and providing service and support to their youth. What I find funny about this site is that many people don't know about the resources Brockton has, so its word of mouth. I'm finding it hard to find structured programs for the youth to stay off the streets, but its the best communities for young people.

Wow, I see what you mean! Maybe it's something bias on ING's part, because that def doesn't make any sense. You're a resident, I'm sure you have a first hand look at everything. Good post.

Digital Media and Learning: Democratic Futures 2013 - 0 views
-
There has been a longstanding narrative of youth political apathy and disengagement from democratic life. However, this perception is now giving way to a richer account, one that seeks to illuminate the dynamic ways in which young people are redefining expressions of "citizenship," "political engagement," and "democracy." As the currents of social, political, financial, and global change intensify, what is the future of participatory democracy, youth activism, and civic and political education? How are the practices and forms of participatory democracy evolving in the age of social, digital, and mobile media? And what do these transformational practices reveal about democratic futures?
