There are also some factors you can consider. When thinking about the community working as a whole to try and prevent drop outs is this a remedial approach, prosocial approach, or a integrative approach? A good example of a remedial approach would be placing students that need the extra help in a "blue room" as it is called in some locations. The youth is the problem as stated in a power point via professor Kowalski. "If you are not busy it only leads to trouble." This is where students that may need help understanding something can be aided. Prosocial the youth are naturally good. You only need to support the youth as they move towards their goal. Last but not least is integrative. This approach speaks about youth being a valuable member of the community. They are active and helpful contributors. It also involves using communication to help connect with the youth.
Here is a video that might help you to think about these three approaches to youth work.
