National Youth Developmet Information Center

Did you know that the 4-H Program is the only federally mandated youth program? It has evolved over the years into an effective program embracing positive youth development concepts.

The National Youth Development Information Center website is a fantastic positive youth development resource. If you would like new ideas on how to apply youth development concepts in clubs and activities, learn what other programs are doing, or simply just want to know more, check out the site.

At a glance, here are some headlines on the first page:
  • New Youth Development Master’s Program
  • Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning
  • Core Principles for Engaging Young People in Community Change
  • Strengthening Afterschool for Older Youth through Policy and Practice: A Policy Brief
  • Educating Students Who Are Struggling in School and in Life

Links on the left side include: Youth Development Library; Funding; Staffing and Training; Programming; Research, Evaluation, and Statistics; and Policy and Advocacy.

The blog title is a link to the site. You may want to bookmark it.
