Youth Development
Incorporating the principles of youth development throughout your program is critical to your success and the quality of your program. A wide variety of resources exist to help you better understand youth development.
The Community Network for Youth Development’s Youth Development Guide is a comprehensive tool for afterschool programs.
WestEd developed a module for measuring resilience (youth development factors) as part of the California Department of Education’s California Healthy Kids Surveys for schools. Resilience factors are also measured in their core survey. WestEd provides reasonably priced support for administration of the surveys. Results can be linked to school day results.
