Youth Power promotes a shared understanding of positive youth development (PYD) whereby young people are empowered to reach their full potential. PYD transitions away from problem-focused responses to youth crises, to proactively building skills, fostering healthy relationships, transforming systems, and making youth an active partner in development efforts.
Youth Power Learning’s mandate included building and strengthening the evidence base for PYD to promote coordination and high standards in the field. To that end, Youth Power Learning spearheaded the creation of more than 160 program tools, resources, research, and more than 150 webinars and major events.
Designed to advance objectives across sectors and dimensions of youth development, these tools and resources support the youth development community’s work at every phase of the program cycle, from strategic planning to program design and implementation to activity design and implementation to monitoring and evaluation.
The project’s lasting legacy depends on the Youth Power Learning community taking these key learnings forward for continued impact. By factoring these resources and the principles behind them into every step, donors and implementers can help ensure the scalability and sustainability of programming.
This document is a comprehensive list of all PYD tools, research, and other resources produced by Youth Power Learning, and is taken from the annex of the Youth Power Learning Final Report, "The Youth Power Learning Project: Advancing Youth Development,” which details the project’s work and the community’s journey.
