Whether inside or out of school, voluntary or for credit, the
programs profiled in garner both deep engagement and high achievement
from young people, helping them find pleasure in the right things. All
build upon fundamental needs of adolescents: to improve the world
around them, to feel respected and connected, to construct their own
narrative. All help youth become persistent and confident learners. Learning Outside the Lines results from a collaboration among the
Kellogg Foundation, What Kids Can Do, and Jobs for the Future—along
with a shared determination to bring new resources and ideas to the
education of our nation's young people.
