Connect
A small bi-monthly magazine, produced since late 1979, that seeks to document and resource examples of active student participation in primary and secondary schools.  It is written by and for teachers, students and others who are interested and involved in such approaches.  It is practical in tone, containing information, case studies, resources, whinges, celebrations, questions and so on.  It encourages sharing and reflection about ways in which the real, active, participation and citizenship of young people can be recognised and encouraged through schools.

You can also look at the Participation in the Community Topic Group of the 2000 National Youth Roundtable.

The NSW Government has quite a bit of information on youth councils and on
involving young people in local government on its youth website at
http://www.youth.nsw.gov.au/info/ .  I have only had a brief look just now,
but last time I looked in detail there were actually comprehensive
guidelines for local councils on how to involve young people in their work.
Most state governments have youth websites now, as does the Commonwealth
government at www.thesource.gov.au and www.youth.gov.au, and they are a
great place to start your search for information.  The second Commonwealth
youth website I mentioned has a number of links to useful research,
including the area you're interested in, as does Richard's youthgas site I
believe.  There's actually quite a bit of material been written in this
area.
