Youth development focuses on helping youth develop social/emotional skills, critical thinking skills and leadership skills. Youth workers advocate for youth and teach youth to advocate for themselves. They are positive role models in diverse communities. Youth workers do not work for youth, but rather with youth. -Valerie, Donna, Jasmine, Kyle
Youth development is the advocating, supporting and strength based approach in helping develop a voice within themselves. Through working together and helping support their identity by co-authoring their life story. Supporting leadership, social justice and education. With my Youth Development degree, I can run various youth programs and non profits to help serve youth. One of the most important aspects of a youth worker is helping them identify themselves and helping them develop their own voice. -Melissa, Brittany & Will
Youth development is a combination of social work, education, and nonprofit studies. Each student has a unique concentration and internship placement where we complete 180 hours.

Within our own YDEV community we became a family. #friendsforever -Ashley, Noelle, and Lindsey
