of Youth Development Programs
Since youth
development programs can take so many different forms, there is no single
template or recipe that applies to every community and agency. These two
programs illustrate the different possibilities, even within the teen
pregnancy prevention world:
| New
York’s Children’s Aid Society Program. |
This
comprehensive program illustrates several of the features listed in
the Practical Steps section. It is designed to influence many different
aspects of youths’ lives – ranging from health to the arts,
job skills, education, and sports – and to do so continuously,
over a long period of time.
|
| The
Seattle Social Development Project. |
| As its
title suggests, this project focuses on young people’s social
bonding – particularly bonding with their schools and families.
The program includes activities not only for youth but also for the
teachers and parents who play such prominent roles in young people’s
lives. |
