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.
Orphaned adolescents, the largest segment of all orphans, have needs that are often neglected by programs working with orphans and vulnerable children, including secondary education, livelihood training, and reproductive health education and services.
