From the article:Youth development, the process of growing up and developing one’s capacities, happens no matter what we do. The challenge is to promote positive youth development and plan quality experiences with young people.
It would be nice if there was a drive-through window where you could order the positive aspects of youth development when planning a program. But it takes active involvement and careful planning to fill the order. KEYS to Quality Youth Development encourages you to plan and prepare a complete menu for positive youth development.
This guide is a working tool to stimulate, challenge, and encourage youth and adults as they work together to plan, conduct, and evaluate quality experiences. Whether you are a parent, teacher, volunteer, youth development professional, or teenager, this planning guide will help you work with youth. How you choose to use it will depend on the situation and the desired outcomes.
