our vision

We believe—and research demonstrates—that certain experiences help young people to develop fully and successfully. These include close relationships with caring adults, high expectations, engaging activities, opportunities to make a difference to others, and continuity of support in every setting in which they live, work, and study. This strength-based, youth development approach has shaped YDI’s work since it was established in 1991.
