Positive Youth Development Starter Toolkit

PYD Starter Kit

This Positive Youth Development Starter Toolkit connects you to key resources for assessment and design, measurement, and learning. It also highlights ways that projects oftentimes foster youth engagement and different resources to help ensure your project is mindful of youth alongside other aspects of gender and social inclusion.

We want today’s youth to have the opportunity to become the doctor, the teacher, or the entrepreneur they have always dreamed of becoming. 
It is our mission to empower youth to reach their full potential by using a Positive Youth Development (PYD) approach. By engaging youth, their families, communities, and governments in innovative programs, we build young people’s skills, assets, and competencies; foster healthy relationships; strengthen the enabling environment; and transform systems.
