Understanding Youth Development: Harnessing the Power to Transform
Individuals and Communities: History / Core Concepts / Practical Application

This module allows participants to ground themselves
within the history and theory that have led to positive youth
development. Core principles and concepts of youth development as a
model to create organizational and community change are offered in
contrast to the traditional youth services model. Participants have the
opportunity to explore practical applications of the model through small
group work.
