• What is PYD?
Positive Youth Development is about helping kids develop PERSONAL and SOCIAL skills to make it possible for them to overcome their barriers.

Six Principles- Basic to ALL Youth Development

  • The goal is more than prevention.
  • The process is enduring, comprehensive, and engages youth.
  • Strategies go beyond the basics.
  • Youth development happens everywhere.
  • Vision is required, not just coordination.
  • All youth are developing....all youth are valued.
