DYCD Positive Youth Development & Youth Leadership Fall Cohort

 

DYCD Positive Youth Development & Youth Leadership Fall Cohort

The cohort consists of ten (4 hour) sessions and is designed to be a small learning community for leadership teams of 2 to 3 members (from one program or include the multi-site supervisor from the same organization) interested in gaining a deeper understanding of how to incorporate DYCD’s Positive Youth Development and Youth Leadership Frameworks into program practice.  We will discuss the obstacles currently faced in implementation and create strategies for how to overcome them.  This cohort also provides opportunities for individual programs to receive site-specific support from YDI staff.

1.       Provide participants with effective strategies for implementing DYCD’s Positive Youth Development and Youth                  Leadership Frameworks into program practices
