"This volume uses an ecosystem approach to explore the idea and potential of the Allied Youth Fields-an aspirational term that suggests increased connection, alignment, and complementarity across the multiple systems in which adults engage with young people. This is an opportune time for this volume, as recent research and initiatives make a strong case for what developmentalists have argued for decades: A young person's learning and development is shaped in positive and negative ways by both the simple and the sustained interactions they have with all the adults in their life. We suggest that the concept of learning and development ecosystems-when taken more seriously than it is typically used-offers a promising way to holistically consider the systems, people, practices, and policies that matter for young people's equitable learning and development. Through this book we hope to seed a paradigm shift in how out-of-school time is thought of; specifically, we seek to expand the notion of out-of-school time to include the multiple systems in which adults work and young people spend time both within and outside of the traditional school classroom"--
