Making Change: Youth Social Entrepreneurship as an Approach to Positive Youth and Community Development

Tina P. Kruse (Assistant Professor, Assistant Professor, Macalester University)

Engaging youth as leaders of social change offers the exponential benefits of personal empowerment, community enhancement, and economic transformation. Grounded both in interdisciplinary theory and an expansive set of practical case examples, Making Change uses an asset focus and cultural relevance that centralizes youth and communities in social entrepreneurship, while introducing vocabulary and frameworks for youth social entrepreneurship advocates to gain resources and political traction for the approach. Readers will have the opportunity to consider the complex interplay of individual, economic, and community development versus oversimplifying causes or solutions of social disparities. Individuals engaged in youth work, program design, funding, and the study of youth and community development will appreciate the text’s exploration of existing research and theory that cross scholarly disciplines to promote a robust view of youth development.
