Learning Community

Eva's Initiatives launched the National Learning Community on Youth Homelessness in 2006 to establish a national forum that could work collaboratively to share expertise and learn from one another as we work to address the needs of youth at risk. Made up of 12 youth serving organizations, Learning Community members decided to address the issue of youth engagement during their second annual conference in 2007. This handbook has been produced for use by those working with youth.

There are two formats. The first is a research based document providing background and theory on the impact of street culture on youth and approaches for engaging given that context. The second is a tool adapted from the original document for use in team meetings, or training settings.
