Global Pull of Community Engagement: Urban Students Growing Into Youth Ambassadors

In 2020, the CYA program was absorbed by the Center for Advanced Study in Education (CASE) at the CUNY Graduate Center after its initial adoption by CASE in fall 2018.

As this process was underway, the directors published a book chapter describing and outlining the CYA Program, from its beginning stages to how students and their mentors prepared for the Winter Youth Assembly. The chapter appeared in the book titledĀ Preparing Students for Community-Engaged Scholarship in Higher Education as follows:
