      and outcomes: the sample case of the 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development.

AB  - In contemporary developmental science, relational development systems models have 
      been used to frame the positive youth development (PYD) perspective, which posits 
      that youth will thrive when there is alignment between their strengths and 
      ecological resources in their context. Evidence from the 4-H Study of PYD 
      indicates that out-of-school-time youth development programs are key ecological 
      resources enhancing youth thriving. This chapter discusses the particular facets 
      of youth development programs (the "Big Three"-positive and sustained adult-youth 
      relationships, skill-building activities, and youth leadership opportunities) 
      involved in promoting youth thriving. The importance of using theory to design 
      and implement programs is also discussed, and challenges of reaching the 
      diversity of American youth with effective programs are noted.
