Issue Brief (Grantmakers Health). 2003 Dec(15):1-44.
As part of its continuing mission to serve trustees and staff of health foundations and corporate giving programs, Grantmakers In Health (GIH) convened a group of experts from the fields of philanthropy, research, government, and health care to examine recent research on youth development and effective approaches for promoting healthy decision making by adolescents. This Issue Dialogue, Positive Youth Development: A Pathway to Healthy Teens-held June 13, 2002 in Washington, DC-provided an opportunity for grantmakers to explore how they can apply youth development principles and asset-based strategies to their grantmaking to promote healthy development and healthy decision making by the adolescents in their communities. This Issue Brief incorporates the information and ideas shared during the meeting into a background paper prepared for participants at the Issue Dialogue. It provides an introduction to positive youth development; describes the characteristics of effective services and programs; reviews the research in this area; and provides examples of programs sponsored by the government, national organizations, and foundations that are intended to support and promote positive youth development.
