Abstract

The data elicited indicate peer their peers’ support and encouragement are important determinants in maintaining youth active and engaged in an organization or community programs. In addition, the preliminary results suggest that positive peer-based leadership program is the way forward to foster and maintain young people’s participation and engagement in youth organization and/or community based programs.
