Youth development is an
approach that recognizes youth as resources in rebuilding communities
and looks to them as partners in creating a framework for developing
and implementing successful programs best suited for their community.
It is a process which prepares young people to
meet the challenges of adolescence and adulthood through a coordinated,
progressive series of activities and experiences which help them
to become socially, morally, emotionally, physically, and cognitively
competent.

following pages provide a collection of excellent on-line resources
