Youth Culture & Diversity for School Age
As professionals working with school-aged youth, we must understand the diverse needs and culture of these young people. These diverse needs can include popular youth culture, adult/youth sensitivity and diversity that encompasses racial, ethnic, linguistic, religious, gender and sexuality identity. We can exhibit cultural competence through our understanding of popular youth culture and the diversity issues that relate to adult/youth relationships.
