Abstract	Relationships matter. What seems to be a simple truth continues to present a challenge--and significant opportunity--for those who work with youth. Research has repeatedly shown that positive relationships are an important catalyst for success, but often there's a gap between the relationships young people say they need and the relationships that are available to them. As many communities and schools are actively trying to re-engage young people who have left school, these relationships, both in and out of school, assume a greater importance. To date, however, relatively little research has focused on the caring adults in the re-engagement context. In the first report in this series, "I'm Going Back: The Re-engagement Experiences of Tucson Youth," Center for Promise researchers spoke with youth about the multiple barriers and factors in their lives that contributed to their decisions either to leave or to persist through high school. As a companion to this study, the Center for Promise sought the perspective of adults who work with these youth. Through interviews with fourteen adults focused on re-engagement across Tucson, the authors found that they share commonalities in how they approach their work.
