The focus of this paper is to describe the unique features of a youth programming model that is currently implemented by the "The Young Peoples Project" headquartered in Cambridge, MA. This programming model contributes to both individual and societal change. In summary they are:
• A focus on “peer to peer” knowledge transfer
• A focus on creating individual and collective purpose
• A focus on developing a sense of freedom about ‘work’
• A content based approach which contributes to both organizational capacity and program replicability
This paper also describes the types of outputs and social indicators that are emerging from a solid ten-year history of using this engaging program model.
