About the New Directions for Youth Development Webinar Series

These Webinars are quarterly online seminars linked to each issue of the journal, New Directions for Youth Development, a quarterly publication focusing on contemporary issues challenging the field of youth development.

A defining focus of the journal is the relationship among theory, research, and practice. In particular, NDYD is dedicated to recognizing resilience as well as risk, and healthy development of our youth, as well as the difficulties of adolescence. The journal is intended as a forum for provocative discussion that reaches across the worlds of academia, service, philanthropy, and policy.

The audience participates in “Action Dialogues” by listening to short talks, viewing PowerPoint slides, and emailing questions and comments to the panel in real time. During the Q & A, participants can also phone in questions. The conversation is shaped by all the participants.
