From Hopelessness to Hope Social Justice Pedagogy in Urban Education and Youth Development This article reviews the social justice youth development (SJYD) model conceptualized to facilitate and enhance urban youth awareness of their personal potential, community responsibility, and broader humanity. The SJYD requires the healing of youth identities by involving them in social justice activities that counter oppressive conditions preventing healthy self-identification. Data from a school-based organization in Tucson called the Social Justice Education Project (SJEP) describe the objectives and outcomes of the curricula employed by the SJEP.

Educational legislation, such as No Child Left Behind and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, require ALL students with disabilities to participate in the general education curriculum.

Thus, it is essential that anyone involved in working with children and adolescents be familiar with adaptions,accommodations, and modifications. The following are some easy accommodations that leaders can make for children and youth with disabilities. Many of these accommodations will benefit all 4-Hers.
