The sixties youth movement had two intertwined strands: one was youth participation in the broader social movements of the decade, and the other was youth activism on behalf of specifically youth-related causes.
Youth were key participants in the civil rights movement, the anti-war movement, the emerging feminist and gay movements, the underground press, and the various new left groups, where they fought for social change alongside adults.
Youth, and especially teenagers, were also involved in struggles more closely connected to their own issues as young people, such as those for school change and student rights, the creation of alternative youth programs, the right to vote, access to birth control, expanded legal rights for minors, and draft resistance.

 daniel rose: the world of the jewish youth movement
Classical Jewish youth movements would find themselves generally towards the right side of the pendulum swing, and it is these movements that I wish to focus on for the remainder of this paper.
These movements, largely run by young graduates in their early twenties (movements generally have very few professional permanent staffing, and are normally run on a volunteer basis), provide young Jewish people with fantastic social and educational opportunities.
More and more they are realizing that youth movements and informal Jewish education is an important way to achieve their goals, providing Jewish youth with a strong sense of affiliation to the Jewish community and world, and that these movements should be celebrated and fully supported in every way.

 The Hitler Youth (1938)
The education for Germany, which is organized by the Hitler Youth itself in accordance with the Führer's will that "Youth must be led by youth," necessarily embraces the whole of a youth's existence.
And just as the Hitler Youth is neither a league for pre-military training, nor a sports club, so it has no room, either, for the cultivation of a separate youth culture in musical groups and Hitler Youth Choirs, in literary clubs and theatrical societies.
Whatever is happening within the new German youth happens exclusively in compliance with the great and unalterable law: the commitment to the Führer is the commitment to Germany.
