YouthPower Learning, a component of the larger YouthPower program, funded by USAID, leads research, evaluations, and events designed to build the evidence base for what works in positive youth development (PYD). To improve PYD practice, YouthPower Learning develops guidance for measuring PYD, builds the evidence of PYD practice, and organizes and disseminates results of activities from across YouthPower.
The Learning Network, including YouthPower.org, this web site and communities of practice, engages and informs the global community to help advance solutions to improve young lives.
Furthermore, YouthPower Learning has also awarded several grants.
This technical brief explores strategies used by skills-based youth livelihood programs to target, recruit, and retain youth beneficiaries for optimal impact, providing concrete examples of how program implementers have addressed these challenges, and documenting some lessons and best practices.
