We hope you will join us for the fifth YouthPower Annual Learning Network Meeting as we celebrate our accomplishments as Positive Youth Development (PYD) champions. This meeting will take a summative look back at the last five years of YouthPower implementation, research, and learnings and discuss how to tackle what lies ahead.
YouthPower consortia members, program implementers, evaluators, and PYD experts will provide lessons learned and resources from on YouthPower activities, and engaging sessions on applying what works in PYD. The meeting will also feature opportunities for networking.
We look forward to hosting Learning Network members and other experts in youth development, facilitating a stimulating exchange of knowledge and ideas, and celebrating the impact of the YouthPower projects around the world.
