Abstract	All over America, young adolescents' experiences of growing up have changed dramatically in the past two decades. Family life for adolescents has changed, adolescents face greater risks to their health, and greater risks of being poorly educated for the next century. Families, schools, and community organizations, the three pivotal institutions that once met the crucial requirements of adolescents to become productive adults, have been slow to adapt to new social realities. This report provides a summary of a task force examination of community programs for youth. The report discusses the challenges facing today's youth--particularly the large amounts of discretionary time--adolescents' needs, and the potential of community organizations to support youth development. The report outlines 10 principles that are vital for successful youth programs and makes recommendations on how key partners such as families, schools, health agencies, businesses, government, and the media can contribute to quality programs for youth. Descriptions of six successful youth programs are included, as is a list of several organizations that serve as resources for youth program development. (TJQ)
