The Center for 4-H & Youth Development at CAUSES is proud to host an Advancing Youth Development (AYD) One-Day Overview Training for Supervisors. This training is specifically designed for individuals in leadership positions at youth-serving organizations. AYD is a national training program and professional development curriculum that is well established in the District, having been previously implemented by the National Training Institute for Community Youth Work and the DC Trust Corporation to further the network of committed professionals that provide quality programming for our children and youth in the District.

This training is another facet of the work of the Center for 4-H and Youth Development. Additionally, the training helps build the capacity and sustainability of our community-based organizations and agencies as it deepens the workforce in the field of youth development. The training will take place on April 26, 2019, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. The following questions will be answered: 

WHAT IS YOUTH DEVELOPMENT?
Youth Development is the process by which all young people seek ways to meet their basic physical and social needs, and build the competencies necessary to succeed in adolescence and adulthood.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES

  • All young people will seek to meet their fundamental needs. If we do not provide young people with the necessary opportunities and supports, they will go elsewhere to meet their needs.
  • The goal is not to fix youth, but to develop them and challenge them to achieve their highest potential.
  • Caring adults do not simply show affection for young people; they (1) challenge youth to achieve their potential, and (2) provide youth with a full range of supports necessary to succeed.

This one-day training program addresses these key youth development components:

DEVELOPMENTAL YOUTH OUTCOMES

  • What are the goals for young people? How do we support them in reaching those goals? What is the youth development approach?

CULTURAL ASSUMPTIONS

  • How and what are the barriers that “we adults” bring to our work with youth? How can we practice caring behaviors?

CORE COMPETENCIES OF YOUTH WORKERS

  • What are the attributes, skills, and knowledge of an exemplary youth worker?

BEST PRACTICES

  • What are the supports and opportunities that youth need for development?

YOUTH PARTICIPATION

  • What are the levels of youth participation? How do we promote the meaningful participation of every youth?

PRACTICE, REVIEW & CELEBRATION

  • How do we use what we have learned to increase our effectiveness with youth?

Individuals serving in leadership and supervisory roles are encouraged to register. We hope to see you there!
