Abstract

How can we help urban youth who are ghetto dwellers and school dropouts break the cycle of failure, poverty, and alienation that follows them into adulthood? The Neighborhood Youth Corps was provided to offer some solutions to this problem. Their program content heavily emphasizes work experiences for unemployed youth but also provides for personal and vocational counseling. This article describes and evaluates a group counseling program, run in conjunction with the Neighborhood Youth Corps, which attempted to reduce the alienation that keeps youth within the poverty‐failure cycle.
