Positive youth development
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Positive youth development, or PYD, is a common neologism that summarizes the intentional efforts of other youth, adults, communities, government agencies, and schools to provide opportunities for youth to enhance their interests, skills, and abilities into their adulthoods. PYD is an increasingly popular policy, curricular, and programmatic approach that allows schools and youth organizations to infuse youth development principles throughout their programs, while supporting their educative or community development goals.
