Discussion Questions for Youth Organizing Case Study  

Must answer all 5 questions.

1) In what ways are youth marginalized or vulnerable community members? In what ways do they have power and privilege?  

2) Discuss how intersectionality affects youth organizers. Consider the realities of race and ethnicity, gender, class, and sexual orientation.  

3) What techniques can be used to strengthen the collective efficacy of a group of youth who share some similarities and common goals but have significant diversities among them (e.g., related to class, immigration status, gender identity, or race or ethnicity)?  

4) Sometimes community organizing is risky business as youth speak truth to power and take direct action. What are the ethical responsibilities that practitioners have to youth in terms of: a. ensuring their basic needs are met (emotional, physical, etc.); b. avoiding unintended consequences that speaking out or engaging in direct action may have for them; c. attending to the realities of youth who are particularly vulnerable (e.g., immigrant youth).  

5) How do we attend to these issues while still embracing the value of self-determination (i.e., that they have rights to make choices for their lives)?
