Preferred term

positive youth development, a developmental systems view  

Definition(s)

  • In these early years of the 21st century, a new vision and vocabulary for discussing America's young people has emerged. Propelled by the increasingly more collaborative contributions of scholars (e.g., Damon & Gregory, 2003), practitioners (e.g., Pittman, Irby, & Ferber, 2001), and policymakers (e.g., Gore & Gore, 2002), youth are viewed as resources to be developed.
