Positive Youth Development (PYD) is an approach to programming that focuses on providing experiences that give youth opportunities for healthy and successful development. PYD practices can be integrated to improve any teen pregnancy prevention (TPP) program and OAH-funded grantees should work to incorporate key PYD practices into all interactions with – and programs for – youth.

You can use this checklist to find out where your program is already integrating elements of positive youth development, and where you can improve.
