- Y-PLAN (Youth—Plan, Learn, Act, Now!) is a model for youth civic engagement in city planning that uses urban space slated for redevelopment as a catalyst for community revitalization and education reform. This article analyzes the past six years of Y-PLAN and demonstrates the model’s effectiveness in fostering positive community outcomes and meaningful learning experiences, as well as its theoretical implications for the planning and education fields. Y-PLAN’s success rests on three central conditions: 1) authentic problems engage diverse stakeholders and foster a “community of practice”; 2) adult and youth partners share decision-making; and 3) projects build sustainable individual and institutional success.

- The City Watershed project is a partnership of Bay Area community based environmental organizations, local government, regional and federal resource agencies, K-12 school districts, and UC Berkeley. The project’s goal was to increase community involvement in, and understanding of, the urban watershed so that citizens — youth and their families, teachers, community leaders — could contribute solutions to the interrelated environmental and social problems affecting the Bay Area’s watersheds.

- In partnership with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development and many community organizations, the Center created the Youth Leadership for Change Initiative focusing on creating healthy and sustainable public housing communities. Using video, radio, and other media as tools for social change, over 500 participants from 47 cities have been involved in YLC starting local youth councils and a wide range of youth programs and projects.
