Sherrie, ARF has just released a handbook called
"Let 'em Go", How to Support Youth in Creating
Their Own Solutions.  It describes a participatory
research project we were involved in, along with
several agencies serving street involved youth in
downtown Toronto.  In addition to giving practical
advice on working with youth, it also describes the
participatory research process.  For further
information, you could contact the project manager,
Elsbeth Tupker, at 416-595-8743 (or

to order a copy directly (416-595-6059).  The
scientist who was involved in the project, Dr. Blake
Poland, is currently with the University of Toronto.
He may have other written materials as well.

Hello,

I am hoping some people can help me.  I am
working on the welfare watch
website and I wanted to be able to link to resources
for community groups
doing action based participatory research.  So far, I
can mostly find
resources on program evaluation.

So, what are people's fav resources both on-line
and print that would be
assessable for mostly consumer based groups to
work with?
