This study sought to identify the impacts of various levels of youth adult partnership (YAP) experiences and training on levels of involvement and quality of interactions, and continued engagement within the community.

Youth who were trained in YAP were more likely to perceive levels of youth involvement more positively. They also showed significantly higher perceptions regarding levels of adult involvement and quality of interactions between adults and youth. These youth also scored higher in their confidence level and perception of the importance of personal involvement within the community.

Strong indications exist in support of Walker\&$\#$39;s Theory of Intentionality.
