Urban youth have become increasingly disengaged from their communities and often feel disempowered to change them. This exploratory case study examined a two year effort to engage small groups of inner-city high school students in community engagement projects at "Social Action Charter High School." The research examined attempts by graduate students to "coach" small groups of students working on required community change projects, while they simultaneously collected data. The overall aim of this study was to examine what happens when we try to move school-based community engagement projects toward a "youth organizing" approach and to determine what an "effective" school-based community engagement project should look like and do. A key problem is that projects which intentionally give students efficacious experiences may mislead them about the realities of institutional power. And more authentic engagements with institutions usually reduce students' confidence and desire to work on community change in the future. These problems were in some ways central to the failures experienced during the first year of this study. In response, the second year we better defined our youth organizing efforts and applied some key interventions designed to reduce student frustration and increase their engagement. The findings suggest that students' were more engaged, took ownership of their projects, became "experts," and were better equipped to complete projects that pragmatically responded to the real limitations in power and resources small groups of students have in school.
