“…Centres were a variety of sizes, and each had different funding structures and infrastructures. As described elsewhere (see Wilson, Todd, Occhiuto, & Garrod, 2019), youth and staff guided the processes for working with the youth centres. Focus groups and/or key informant interviews were conducted collaboratively with youth centre staff to understand organizational practices and technology needs.…”

This article explores the problems and potential of funded short-term cross-sector partnerships to address technological deficits in the nonprofit sector by engaging with the partners of a concluded project. The partnership case study that forms the backbone of this article was a three-year nationally funded nonprofit-industry-academic partnership. The ob- jective of the partnership was to increase the data collection capacity of a national nonprofit organization and its affiliate centres through the development of a web-based app. This article highlights the challenges and differing experiences of nonprofit-industry-academic partnerships more generally, and technology-development partnerships more specifically.

“…This case study takes on that task through a narrative‐based analysis of the ways in which neoliberalism, instituted by EBP and PYD, exacerbates racialized and class‐based tensions in the context of youth development practice. Although PYD represents a significant improvement over the historically deficit‐oriented approach to youth development (Damon, 2004), it “conceals a core of deficit thinking about youth” through implicit assumptions that individuals are ultimately responsible for overcoming structural marginalization (Sukarieh & Tannock, 2011; Wilson, Todd, Occhiuto, & Garrod, 2020). Similarly, EBP's grounding in rationalist ontological and epistemological standpoints tends to obscure power interests inherent to practices such as youth development, allowing the dominance of neoliberal ideology to go unchecked (Denzin, 2009; Goldenberg, 2006; Standring, 2017).…”

Aims This critical ethnography interrogates the influence of neoliberalism on youth development practice as instituted by the evidence‐based practice and positive youth development movements. Methods I employed participant observation and grounded theory analyses in my role as facilitator of a youth participatory action research program in the context of violence prevention work at a large urban youth development agency. Results The disconnect between professionalized youth development and the lived experience of youth manifested in organizational policies and practices and meant that the agency had to balance competing interests and worldviews, reconcile the need for funding with social justice aims, and cope with the consequences of such conflicts. Conclusions Neoliberalism exacerbates a disconnect between youth development practice and youth experience, contributing to an epistemic form of violence. Results are discussed in relation to Martín‐Baró liberation framework, which emphasizes the recovery of historical memory, deideologizing everyday experience, and utilizing the virtues of oppressed people.
