Those are the key findings highlighted in the latest issue of the online periodical, Search Institute Insights & Evidence. In addition to highlighting key findings from the recent study, Is There Common Ground? An Exploratory Study of the Interests and Needs of Community-Based and Faith-Based Youth Workers, the article outlines implications for building bridges in communities across sectors. Rather than focusing primarily sorting through the issues first, the article's author, Eugene C. Roehlkepartain, argues for acting locally as a way of learning. "Abstract definitions and position papers may do less to stimulate shared commitments than would shared experiences, stories, and actions that transcend sector, organization, and worldview. Through stories and narratives, the work will come alive and have meaning for youth workers. Through action, it will become part of who they are."
