Abstract
Considering the importance of the subject of identity and despite numerous efforts and actions taken by the relevant institutions in the field of adolescent identity enhancement, no satisfactory result has been achieved due to the gap and distance between them and, in one word, lack of synergy. The Imam Hossein Comprehensive University Center for Popular Governance decided to form specialized working groups in this area to take a step toward solving the adolescent identity issue through synergy among provincial organizations. Accordingly, the outcome of these specialized sessions and meetings was an operational plan called "Everyone Involved in Education." According to this plan, each provincial organization, aligned with the Fundamental Transformation Document of Education, provides a free service to students that supports identity enhancement, making these services available to schools. Schools, by visiting centers or participating in skill-building workshops, aim to address adolescents' identity crisis by inspiring hope through exposing students to existing advancements within each organization and encouraging them to play roles in various fields. This article is the result of an action research process of this plan from idea to implementation. The data in this article were collected based on documents, interviews, observations, sessions, and specialized working groups and were analyzed and examined using thematic analysis. The findings of this research showed that institutional synergy led to increased educational effectiveness, audience satisfaction, enhancement of adolescents' social identity, and formation of a native model that can be generalized at national and local levels. The model presented in this study can be useful for policymakers and those involved in adolescent affairs at both national and local levels.
