Abstract
In this issue, Reed Davaz McGowan examines the change that has occurred to the Latino
community-based organization Norris Square Neighborhood Project (NSNP) since her 2010
CultureWork article, “Understanding the Social Service Needs in Community Arts
Organizations.” In the previous article, Davaz McGowan, as NSNP’s Executive Director,
introduced the ways in which the organization had worked with youth to promote civic
engagement through the arts in Philadelphia. Davaz McGowan now reflects on the
organization’s substantial growth over the last two and a half years of what she calls “youth
leadership development” within NSNP. She shares how this development has continued to
evolve into a deep engagement for youth within the community, leading and informing major
decisions, organizational growth, staff refinement, and innovation.
