A New Perspective: An Evaluation of Youth by Youth.

- Abstract
"Adults don't listen to me because they don't think I have anything interesting to say," an eleven-year- old boy explained to us during one of the after-school focus groups that took place at Homer (Michigan) Community Schools. However, as part of the Youth Participatory Evaluation (YPE) team's effort to evaluate GAP programming based on five of the Search Institute's Forty Developmental Assets, we spent a total of ten hours listening to what 64 fifth- and sixth-grade students had to say on every thing from their daily routines to their wildest dreams. After all of this, we came away with the impression that these kids were anything but uninteresting.
