This course requires practical application of research skills learned at Level I of study. It is a study of Working with Youth Community and Organizational Settings. Learners will be required to implement a short project with young people to address a primary concern raised in a context or setting of their choice. Learners will use participatory methods to do research and identify concerns and problems in the chosen setting; develop an action plan; implement and evaluate their actions and interventions and report on the outcomes of the intervention and reflect on their role in the process. Learners who are employed in the youth sector may pursue a project related to their professional role, provided both the academic and work supervisors grant permission. However, students are not obligated to undertake their project within their existing organization or work place.
