There is actually quite a bit of experience with youth in Open Space.
Truthfully, the kids get it much quicker than adults. Peace Corps has used OST
worldwide for both volunteer development and youth development projects around
the world. There is a brief description of their work in the AtWork special
edition. Another person you might contact is John Perkins in Seattle who has
dopne several with teen in that area. Johns number is 206-329-9953, and I have
his email as newroots at wolfnet.com. I see if Ican fax you some of the
appropriate articles.
