Helping Teens Stop Violence, Build Community, and Stand for Justice

Helping Teens Stop Violence, Build Community, and Stand for Justice is a guide for adults who work with young people ages ten and up on issues related to youth leadership and social justice. It is also a training manual for adults who want to become effective allies to young people and develop the skills needed so that they can facilitate community building among youth. Adults are encouraged to see young people not as a problem but the key to the solution. The authors have decades of experience in youth education and social justice activism and provide a clear theoretical framework for their approach to social justice education. On the practical level, workshop guidelines and outlines are included for facilitating discussion and sharing around sensitive topics of oppression, the "isms" — racism, sexism, adultism — as well as gender issues, immigration, religion, ability and access. This program presents a positive framework that draws out the experience, strength, and idealism of young people while speaking to the issues they care about today.

This book is a guide for adults who work with young people, ages 10 and up, in diverse environments on topics related to social justice. It helps adults become effective allies to young people, and to develop understanding and skills needed so that they can facilitate community building among youth. The framework and tools presented are applicable to adults working in schools, youth detention facilities, residential programs, after-school programs and recreation programs, as well as in colleges and universities. Committed parents can also use this material for insight into the life and needs of young people they care about or are guiding. The book discusses major systems of oppression, such as racism, sexism, heterosexism, and adultism, in an accessible format.

The book also provides a gateway framework for using the Making the Peace high school violence prevention curriculum, the Making Allies, Making Friends middle school curriculum, the Days of Respect organizing manual, and other curricula published by the authors.
