In this section, we explain the ideas that are at the core of our work as described in the Youth Development Framework for Practice. The Framework is a tool for planning, examining, and evaluating youth programs from a youth development perspective. The framework illustrates the logical link between youth development practices and positive outcomes for young people. It also shows the connection between practices at the organizational and program levels.

For further help in understanding and implementing the youth development approach, we offer our E-Learning resources. This section is designed to provide additional support for people who have participated in our workshops or Learning Network and for our knowledge-sharing partners.

The Definitions section is available to clarify many of the terms we use in this section.
