🚶♀️ March Your Way Through These Highlights From NAA
We are pleased to announce the release of the latest issue of the Journal of Youth Development, highlighting research and practice innovations that deepen our understanding of youth development across diverse settings, systems, and experiences. Together, these articles illuminate how intentional programs, relationships, and learning environments can strengthen youth outcomes and advance equity in the field.
On Thursday during the NAA26 general session, COO Heidi Ham will officially announce NAA’s forthcoming National Youth Development Foundational Practices Credential. Today, we’re offering our members an early preview of what’s ahead, because this milestone belongs to the entire OST community, whether you’re joining us in D.C. or following along from afar. As we prepare for this announcement, we invite you to reflect on the bigger vision that guides our work, and the journey our field is taking together.
Our latest member resource, The Out-of-School Time Guide to Maximizing Mentorship for Professional Development and Personal Growth, was released last week. Log into your membership portal today to access the new guide.
