Webinar #1: Positive Youth Development

This three-part series focused on the supporting skills and staff development necessary to meeting Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) objectives. Three vital areas for creating a virtual learning environment built to succeed were discussed — positive youth development; building a community virtually; and staff recruitment, retention and training. After this webinar, you should be able to: describe the five C’s of positive youth development; adapt youth development activities to the virtual environment; develop youth leadership in out-of-school time; and identify Y4Y tools to support positive youth development. This was the first in a series of three webinars.
