Abstract

This paper describes the use of group work with late adolescents preparing for life after high school. One major aspect of the work with the group members, students who were not targeted for help by school personnel or guidance counselors, included the college planning process. Four elements of group work practice were integral to the development and life of this group: (1) purpose, (2) use of activity, (3) mutual aid, and (4) problem solving. Process examples from the group are included to illustrate group work's effectiveness.
