NYA publishes initial paper on the Positive Youth Development

Interest in Positive Youth Development (PYD) in England and the United Kingdom has grown in recent years. A number of evidence reviews (Dennison 2004, Harden et al. 2006) looking at programmes to prevent teenage pregnancy have identified PYD models as promising. From 2004 till 2007, the Young People's Development Programme (YPDP) >> funded by the Department for Health, piloted youth work interventions based on PYD theory at 27 sites across England. Aiming High for Young People, the 2007 Ten Year Youth Strategy for Positive Activities draws upon youth development in setting out its theoretical foundations. However, there has not been a systematic exploration of the key features of PYD for an English audience. This paper launched at an event on January 21st starts the exploration.
