Abstract
- The article focuses on the uCreate Project of the New York City-based youth development organization Global Kids Inc., which extends collaborative learning to incarcerated youth in the U.S. particularly Madison, Wisconsin and Charlotte, North Carolina. It says that the six-week long educational project links youth detention centers with community libraries such as Dane County Jail with the Madison Public Library in Madison and Jail North with Charlotte Mecklenburg Library in Charlotte. It states that the project offers Global Kids the opportunity to continue its work for nontraditional youth populations. Meanwhile, it mentions that incarcerated youth are the most disenfranchised young people population in the country.
