“…Youth's active involvement in the community encourages growth in social, life, and other practice skills promoting resilience and helping youth to better navigate society (Brennan 2008). Further, youth-adult relationships that are youth centered, as opposed to being driven primarily by the interests or expectations of the adult have been found to predict greater relationship quality and duration (Herrera et al 2000;Morrow and Styles 1995;Rhodes and Lowe 2008), supporting life success.…”

Out-of-school programs are often adult dominated, with minor involvement of youth in programming. Youth are seen as future citizens, not citizens of the present and expectations are set low for youth's ability to lead. The combination of low expectations and lack of opportunities for youth to meaningfully participate fails to promote youth development and social responsibility. In contrast, out-of-school programs which act as resilient communities support youth autonomy, social competence, and problem solving skills. This article presents a case study of a resilient community. The findings from this cross sectional exploratory study suggest that this resilient community promotes positive youth development outcomes.

“…Similarly, social support is now seen as strongly connected to community in terms of urban and rural geography (Brennan, 2008) and community groups constructed on the basis of common bonds and interests (Dolan & McGrath, 2006). However, one could argue that although organic connections between social support and community development are strong, the potential of community as instruments to help families overcome adversity has not been utilised enough (Ghate & Hazel, 2002).…”

“…Since the early 1990s, the focus of resilience research has shifted away from 22 identifying protective factors to understanding the process through which individuals 23 overcome the adversities they experience (Luthar, Cicchetti, & Becker, 2000b). 24 Over the past two decades psychologists' understanding of human functioning in 25 A REVIEW OF PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE 4 demanding situations has developed rapidly, with resilience being examined across a range of 1 contexts, including business organizations (see, e.g., Riolli & Savicki, 2003), education (see , 2 e.g., Gu & Day, 2007), military (see, e.g., Palmer, 2008), sport performance (see, e.g., Galli 3 & Vealey, 2008), and communities (see, e.g., Brennan, 2008). However, one of the main 4 difficulties in conducting research on resilience is that wide discrepancies exist in the way 5 that resilience is defined and conceptualized.…”
