Zusammenfassung:This article describes a collaborative arrangement between a practitioner-oriented doctoral program in clinical psychology and a nonprofit teen pregnancy prevention agency. Emphasis is on academic-community connection; that is, scholarly engagement with real-world problems and a view of psychology as a force for social change through collaboration between programs of psychology and community agencies. Included is a description of a teen pregnancy prevention program and a model of academic-community collaboration with implications for curriculum design and training of doctoral level psychology students in community consultation, collaboration, and issues of social justice.
