| Abstract: | District 1 of Wichita, Kansas is primarily
formed by African American population and faces
multiple economic and social challenges that require
greater collaboration and improved capacity of local
faith-based (FBO) and community-based organizations
(CBO). The Wichita Youth Empowerment Partnership
(WYEP) is an initiative facilitated by the Center for
Community Support & Research (CCSR) and includes
10 partnering faith-based and community-based
organizations (FBCBOs) that address youth violence and
gang activity in the mentioned district. A participatory
community assessment was conducted to obtain
information and establish future directions for services
and activities of the organizations, from the youth’s
perspective. Community assessment was a participatory
process that integrated mixed methods to collect
information: youth survey, focus groups, photovoice, and
archival data. Information obtained was quantitatively
and qualitatively analyzed. Adult collaboration and
inclusion of a youth research team were central aspects. |
