Abstract: This is a case study of a community youth engagement initiative that focuses on youth development, community building, and placemaking; the Initiative puts youth and the arts at its core. With six years of dedication from youth and adult partners alike, and tremendous progress made toward creating an inclusive and multifaceted arts and cultural center in East Palo Alto, this study provides valuable insights about fostering positive community youth engagement from the perspective of key stakeholders. This study seeks to share those insights with the field and to further elevate the voices of East Palo Alto youth as well as the community itself, a diverse city of color with a rich history of community empowerment and social justice.
