Youth Development

The Innovation Center’s approach to youth development is rooted in social justice; we recognize that young people can play an important role in effecting deep community change. Innovation Center consultants work with communities to strengthen relationships with young people, help them develop new skills and abilities, and work in partnership with them to improve their communities. Through this process we achieve strong youth development outcomes, even with alienated, hard to reach populations. We also create practical resources and offer training to share new models of youth development.
