New Resource Kit Available

"Involving youth with adults in evaluation and action planning: The Youth and Adult Leaders for Program Excellence: A PrACTical Guide for Program Assessment and ACTion Planning: (YALPE Resource Kit) developed by a team led by Linda Camino and Shepherd Zeldin at University of Wisconsin Extension is designed for groups that are seeking to promote positive youth development through strategies of youth participation, civic engagement, youth voice and youth-adult partnership across a full range of contexts...from after-school programs, to community-based organizations, to residential settings. The four assessment tools are grounded in research on youth development and are user-friendly for both youth and adults. The YALPE Resource Kit is most appropriate for programs that are actively seeking to improve their services, and which perceive youth as being key actors/partners in that process."
