Abstract
Stay focused on empowerment as a process. There may be some programs and events that really are required to be "perfect." Youth development professionals may be surprised, however, to find that when the supervisor, county board, parents, and community members are educated about the empowerment process, they'll be incredibly supportive. They'll begin to see the youth development professional's role as that as of a youth developer rather than as an event coordinator. More importantly, young people are provided opportunities to develop the competencies they need to become successful adults.
