Webinar: Perspectives on Positive Youth Development

Join USAID and YouthPower Learning on March 11 at 10am EST for their ‘Perspectives on Positive Youth Development’ Webinar.

Positive Youth Development (PYD) is a guiding principle of USAID’s Youth in Development Policy. Both a philosophy and an approach, it is a paradigm shift in how we understand young people and how we provide youth services.

But what exactly is PYD? How does it differ from traditional approaches to youth development? In what ways can you integrate PYD strategies into your own youth programming to improve outcomes in academic achievement, workforce readiness, positive health behaviours, increased civic engagement, and violence prevention?

These are just some of the questions that will be answered during the one-hour webinar by PYD experts (and our very own Commission Chair) Prof George Patton (Professor of Adolescent Health Research University of Melbourne and Chair of the Lancet Commission on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing) and Kristin Brady (Director of FHI 360 Youth Department and USAID YouthPower Action).

The webinar will be hosted by USAID YouthPower Learning, a project implemented by Making Cents International. Further information, and registering details can be found here.
