Youth Development 101 Training

A core value of our work at the BEST Initiative is Positive Youth Development. We believe in the voices and power of young people, and train youth workers to support their youth in all areas of their growth. With that in mind, we are offering this session of Youth Development 101, a one-day, 5-hour exploration of youth development principles and practices. Participants will learn how to build positive youth outcomes and Developmental Outcomes (DO’s) into their programming.  This training will also provide participants with an opportunity to explore youth participation and name strategies to build Youth Participation (YP) in their programs.
