Overview

The Great Plains IDEA Youth Development Program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has its roots in Positive Youth Development. Rather than focusing solely on corrective measures, a Positive Youth Development approach equips young people in the second decade of life with the skills and opportunities necessary for successful transition into adulthood.

This approach promotes positive outcomes for all youth by recognizing their strengths, fostering positive relationships, and providing youth with opportunities to learn, lead, connect and serve.

Students in this program will:

Understand, integrate, and be able to apply conceptual approaches to youth development
Understand normative pathways to development
Understand youth and family cultural issues/contexts and their micro- and macro-influences on positive youth outcomes
Understand and apply basic research and evaluation skills to youth development programming through an applied project that serves as a capstone experience under the direction of the candidate's home institution
Develop skills in problem-solving with "stakeholders" including funding sources, boards, other agencies, families and other professionals
