Abstract	As part of a study designed to develop youth programs which would maximize social and occupational adjustment of minorities in the rural Southwest, this report contains a detailed description of the general framework and/or tentative guidelines for a Chicano youth program. Also included are operating principles for an American Indian program derived from study of Navajo and Papago youth. The Chicano program focuses on dropout prevention based on the relationship between lack of formal education and unemployment. As a comprehensive, coordinated in-school/out-of-school program designed to meet needs of rural youth (both Chicano and Anglo from 8th grade through 20 years), this program would: supplement established services; emphasize the pragmatic aspects of bilingualism; and merge the concepts of an "educational" program (in-school) with "manpower training" (out-of-school). The operating principles for the Indian program emphasize coordination between on-reservation and off-reservation programs; Indian involvement in policies, procedures, etc.; and total Federal support on a permanent basis. On-reservation goals emphasize teaching useful job skills and providing practical experiences which define ways Indian youth can help their people. Off-reservation goals emphasize getting along in the Anglo culture, but from an Indian point of view, considering such questions as how the Anglo work system operates. (JC)
