But what do we know about the role of such programs for today's adolescents? How can we ensure that programs are designed to successfully meet young people's developmental needs and help them become healthy, happy, and productive adults? Community Programs to Promote Youth Development explores these questions, focusing on essential elements of adolescent well-being and healthy development. It offers recommendations for policy, practice, and research to ensure that programs are well designed to meet young people's developmental needs. The book also discusses the features of programs that can contribute to a successful transition from adolescence to adulthood. It examines what we know about the current landscape of youth development programs for America's youth, as well as how these programs are meeting their diverse needs. Recognizing the importance of adolescence as a period of transition to adulthood, Community Programs to Promote Youth Development offers authoritative guidance to policy makers, practitioners, researchers, and other key stakeholders on the role of youth development programs to promote the healthy development and well-being of the nation's youth.YouthServices forUnited StatesTeenagersServices forUnited StatesYouthServices forTeenagersServices for362.7/083Eccles Jacquelynne S1812774Gootman Jennifer Appleton1805134National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Community-Level Programs for Youth.National Research Council (U.S.).Board on Children, Youth, and Families.Institute of Medicine (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910953548703321Community programs to promote youth development4365358UNINA
