[YL] New Publication on Building and Evaluating Out-of-School Time Connections

[MaryLou Boughton]

Take a look at Malcolm Gladwell's book The Tipping Point.  It's an
interesting book about how influence happens.  I've worked in the youth
development field for many years - The Tipping Point made me think of
many situations where youth have been influenced and make their
influence heard!

Thank you for the link(s)! 

I am  looking for any help you may be able to provide on the following
topic: 

How teens or older youth affect media. 

A lot has been written on the reverse idea: how media affects youth;
but, we are a multimedia program for oldre "out -of-school youth;" 'and
in addition to focusing on media literacy, we are trying to evaluate how
this group affects (has power to change) all media. 

Thanking you in advance.
