  How can I learn more about youth development?
  Question
  Do you have resources on youth development? What publications do have about youth development?
  Answer
  The youth development approach focuses on giving young people the chance to exercise leadership, build skills, form relationships with caring adults, and help their communities. Further, the youth development approach acknowledges both that youth are resources in rebuilding communities and that helping young people requires strengthening families and communities.

The following resources provide community members with strategies for building a vision for young people that is based on the youth development approach.
