Over the years, the field of youth services has adopted youth development principles as a philosophy, approach, knowledge base and set of practices and outcomes to create a framework for working effectively with young people. Adaptable to all settings and venues, these principles help young people to develop a sense of agency and belonging, and to identify and adapt to challenges and opportunities. The framework has enabled organizations and their staff members to guide young people through their life journeys. As funders, the philanthropic community has used youth development principles to help identify best practices in after-school programs, schools, professional development opportunities, and essential partnerships.  
 
But, any good framework must be dynamic. This forum will consider youth development principles in a changing world.
