ABSTRACT Young people’s voices remain underrepresented in health policy processes. This scoping review focuses on the United Kingdom (UK) and investigates how and to what degree young people have participated in policy-making processes. We adapt an established framework categorizing how young people are involved in policy-related processes, ranging from advisory roles to communicating findings. We report a spectrum of practical examples, highlighting opportunities for successful policymaking with youth, in relation to key factors, such as type of involvement, role of facilitators, and the integration of young people in different stages of the process.

ABSTRACT Critical service-learning (CSL) is an important pedagogy for the preparation of community practitioners. In this article, two service-learning practitioners offer “Rights to the City” (RTTC) as a framework to guide what “social change” means in CSL and for undergraduate students preparing to work in community settings. The article outlines three central tenets of RTTC: the democratically reimagined city (DRC), inhabitance, and difference. It then analyzes three case studies from their own service-learning courses to demonstrate the tenets in practice. The article concludes with considerations for how RTTC can shape forms of community-driven partnerships that prioritize social justice outcomes as part of student learning and practitioner training toward radical community practice.

ABSTRACT This article presents photovoice research conducted with residents of a project-based permanent supportive housing program in a small metropolitan community in the United States. Utilizing McMillian and Chavis’s Sense of Community as a theoretical framework, we implemented photovoice to explore how former chronically homeless residents experienced their new housing community. Findings shed light on the ways residents experience community and are organized into three themes: participation in the neighborhood; depictions of home; and solidarity based on prior homelessness. Methodologically, photovoice provides the opportunity to rewrite narratives of homelessness by people who have experienced it.

ABSTRACT Social workers are expected to serve and advocate for marginalized communities, including but not limited to transgender and nonbinary communities (TNB). However, the extent to which social workers meet this expectation is unknown. Using data from a 2019–2020 survey of students who were enrolled in U.S. social work programs (N = 725), this study examined the predictors for engaging in TNB activism, including interaction effects between subdomains of the adapted Ally Identity Measure and students’ personal endorsement of a Critical Orientation to Social Justice. We found that both students identifying as LGBQ and having more TNB people in one’s social network were associated with an increase in engaging with TNB activism. Among our social work educational variables, we found that students who have a mixed micro/macro focus, those who had taken a course on power, privilege, and oppression, and those who had engaged in intergroup dialogue were more likely to engage in TNB activism. Finally, we found that the interaction effects between the Critical Orientation to Social Justice Scale and two of the adapted Ally Identity Measure subdomains were significant.

ABSTRACT In the context of high outmigration, this study drew on the experiences of college educated young adults (N = 30) who made conscious commitments to live in Appalachian Kentucky and work on social, economic, and environmental changes in the region. Using Constructivist Grounded Theory methods, we present doing place as a context specific framework that highlights three dynamic and multi-directional strategies that guided participants’ decisions, commitments, and meaning making. Working out place emphasized how place is acquired and navigated. Keeping peace in place highlighted the strategies engaged to maintain relationships and well-being in place. Connecting to the big picture depicted how meaning making is infused throughout these experiences. These including working out place, keeping peace in place, and connecting to the big picture. We discuss theoretical contributions to place and practical implications in social work education and practice in and beyond the region.

ABSTRACT Thirty-six undergraduate students were required to complete a compulsory intergenerational service-learning subject that aims to develop them ability to communicate with elderly and apply essential principles to promote health in community setting. Students organized center activities or conducted home visits in nine weeks. A content analysis on students’ reflective essay after the intergenerational service-learning subject was conducted to evaluate their personal growth and insights into elderly community health services. Results indicated that students were able to apply the skills of health promotion, show empathy, identify needs of elderly services and build community engagement.

ABSTRACT Deep canvasing is an effective organizing tactic that uses story-sharing to increase public support for equity issues. This correlational study examines 2,240 deep canvass conversations a community organization had with voters about a decarceration ballot initiative considered in Los Angeles County’s March 2020 election. We analyzed the relationships between story-sharing and emotional expression on increased support for the initiative using multivariate regression. The results suggest that story-sharing does predict attitude change, but only when combined with emotional expression. This study implies that organizers may increase their efficacy by utilizing narratives to facilitate the expression of emotions about political issues.

ABSTRACT Sunday Streets is an Open Streets initiative where local communities temporarily close streets to traffic, creating car-free space for recreation. This study used a survey of open- and close-ended questions to examine the reciprocal relationship between Sunday Streets and the communities and neighborhoods it serves. Findings suggest Sunday Streets provides participants with a safe (97.2%), vibrant environment (79.4%) where residents can decrease their stress (84.8%). Participants “feel more connected” to their neighborhood environment and recommend expansion of the route and more amenities. Sunday Streets offers ways for communities to support neighborhood social characteristics and social interactions and influence population health.

ABSTRACT Arts programming can amplify youth voice, creative self-expression, and promote civic engagement and social change. This paper describes a case study of a youth participatory action research at an arts organization in the northeast of the U.S. that promoted youth participation, critical reflection, and action. Field observations and individual interviews with adult and youth staff were conducted and analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings suggest YPAR represented an opportunity for youth to develop critical consciousness, leadership skills, and create change. Adults integrated opportunities for youth to lead in arts dissemination and action initiatives. Implications and challenges including sustainability were identified.
