SDRG Science Weds “Positive Youth Dev in low-middle income countries” – Weds Feb. 14th at 9am

I am happy to announce our third year of Science Wednesday at the Social Development Research Group (SDRG). This year, SDRG scientist Martie Skinner will kick us off.

February 14, 9-10 am

SDRG

9725 3rd Ave NE, Suite 401

Cascade conference room

The title of the presentation is:

Positive Youth Development programs in low and middle income countries: What are they? and Do they work?

Rico Catalano and Martie Skinner have been working with an interdisciplinary consortium for the last 2-3 years to a) get a better understanding of what kind of programs are being delivered to youth in low and middle income countries that promote positive development, b) examine any evidence that they work, and c) develop a toolkit to help program evaluators measure positive youth development outcomes.  That work is nearing completed! Martie will share what they found, what we think it means, and what the next steps should be.
