3. Youth Literacy Report: Researching Literacy Needs of Youth Ages 16-18 (2002)
Authors: Adult Basic Education Association (ABEA)
Collection: Research Materials
This project grew out of a forum held in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1999, which raised concerns about gaps in literacy services to specific groups of people. One such group identified at the forum was young people who had left the school system before graduating.
The goals of the project included determining the actual literacy needs of youth ages 16-18 who are not in the high school system; the best type of program design to meet youth literacy needs; and possible sponsors, partnerships or funding sources to deliver services.
The authors have included a description of the project methodology; research findings and conclusions; and recommendations for service delivery models.
