TI  - Capacity-building for youth workers through community-based partnerships.
PG  - S65-71
AB  - Although positive youth development (PYD) is increasingly influential in the 
      field of youth programming, core knowledge and competencies for youth workers 
      continue to be defined. Youth serving agencies throughout the United States face 
      serious obstacles in the creation of a stable and well-trained workforce, despite 
      the presence of many talented and resourceful individuals who work with youth in 
      the community. One strategy for organizational and staff development is through 
      PYD-oriented, community-based partnerships designed to enhance youth worker 
      knowledge and competence. Two different partnerships are described in this 
      report. The first brought together experts in youth work, health, and trauma, and 
      focused on improving youth worker response to psychologic trauma commonly 
      experienced by urban youth. This partnership used an iterative reflective 
      practice approach to describe best practices in youth work. The second 
      partnership strategically taught evaluation skills to youth program consumers, 
      AmeriCorps service members, and adult youth workers to advance youth-adult 
      partnerships. These exemplars demonstrate that partnerships can drive systems for 
      improving competencies in youth workers and the capacities of youth services.
