Youth Development 202: Beyond the Fundamentals

This training applies Michelle Gambone’s youth development framework to the developmental process and needs of older youth, aged 13-19. With adulthood around the corner it is important that programs create opportunities for youth to practice the skills of successful adulthood. Learn how to map 6 developmental skills youth need to the unique benefits and features of your program. Work with skilled youth development coaches to apply plans, and get real-time coaching for application support. We will apply youth development theory to 4 case studies that bring to light common pitfalls in program design, and develop an organizational change plan to implement changes.
