Youth Development Training and Technical Assistance Resource Toolkit: Start Up Recommendations from the Field
Youth workers -- the staff that work with children and youth at community centers, clubs, camps, afterschool programs and a host of other settings -- serve tens of millions of children and youth daily and play significant roles in their lives. These dedicated workers, like other workers, need training and ongoing professional development to enhance their skills and keep them current. This toolkit focuses on a strategy for meeting that need: community based training and technical assistance resource centers for youth workers. It contains three major topics: Making the Case; Getting the Right Start; and Tools and Resources and within each a wealth of information to help begin and effectively maintain these crucial organizations.
