The goal of YouthPower2: Learning and Evaluation (YP2LE) activities is to give practitioners the information, tools, and resources they need to develop high-quality, impactful, and sustainable youth programs, allowing empowered youth, working with supportive adults, to create the kind of sustainable change in individuals and systems that leads to self-reliance.
Designed to advance objectives across sectors and dimensions of youth development, these PYD tools and resources aim to support the youth development community’s work at every phase of the program cycle, from strategic planning to program design and implementation to activity design and implementation to monitoring and evaluation.
You can access below YP2LE products completed to date. In addition, as an introduction to our library of resources, we narrowed down the Top 10 resources positive youth development champions will want to download and apply in their work. Click here to take a look!
