Abstract
In the context of a conference on after-school programs, sponsored by the nonprofit All Stars Project, youth from the organization’s programs discuss their experiences and growth as citizens in a video-captured panel discussion. Their discussion illustrates how outside-of-school social and cultural development helps disenfranchised youth to see themselves as part of the broader society and as having the capacity to shape that society and to lead others.
