Summary:Reviews the book, Youth participatory evaluation: Strategies for engaging young people by Kim Sabo Flores (see record 2007-17767-000). The premise of Sabo Flores's book that youths have the capacity to contribute to the enhancement of society is derived from developmental-social constructivism theories and a body of empirical research validating the benefits that this type of involvement has on the well-being of youth, adults, and communities alike. In her review, Giselle Esquivel examines the fundamental assumptions of a youth particpatory approach, and concludes that the central message of Flores' book affirms in adults a sense of trust in and responsibility toward the next generation.
