City Kids in the Wilderness: A Pilot-Test of Outward Bound for Foster Care Group Home Youth.
Fischer, Robert L.; Attah, E. B.
Journal of Experiential Education, v24 n2 p109-17 Fall 2001
A study examined perceptions of a 7-day Outward Bound program among 23 urban youths, foster parents, and foster care workers from group homes in Atlanta (Georgia). Foster parents reported improved self-esteem and behavior among the teens, but foster care workers reported worse behavior. Negative program impressions lessened among male youths but increased among females. (Contains 23 references.) (TD)
