YouthPower Learning, a component of the larger YouthPower program, funded by USAID, leads research, evaluations, and events designed to build the evidence base for what works in positive youth development (PYD). To improve PYD practice, YouthPower Learning develops guidance for measuring PYD, builds the evidence of PYD practice, and organizes and disseminates results of activities from across YouthPower.
The Learning Network, including YouthPower.org, this web site and communities of practice, engages and informs the global community to help advance solutions to improve young lives.
Furthermore, YouthPower Learning has also awarded several grants.
Early marriage can curtail girls' freedom; end their education prematurely; and put them at risk of HIV, early and unintended pregnancy, and domestic violence. This YouthLens reviews five approaches for delaying marriage. Program examples discussed were selected because they produced documented positive results or because they are generally agreed upon by the larger community of practice as being promising.
