Abstract
This thesis project explored occupations of middle school youth in an underserved community and how they viewed their current and future occupations. The objective of our project was to describe student perspectives on their current and future occupations in order to further inform OT in community-based settings. We conducted a qualitative case study with 80 hours of participant observation and 12 group interviews with 13 youth in the College and Career Pathways Program. The students interviewed broadened their perspectives on college and career goals and demonstrated learning around three main themes: views of the future, steps to get there, and perceived barriers. Occupations of youth expanded further than merely school and play, with dimensions that reflect their adult and future goals. OTs can use occupation as a framework from which to consult, develop, or manage similar programs.
