This presentation will synthesize recent empirical findings from both neuroscience and
youth development on what we currently know about how youth learn and develop in organized
youth programs. The goal of this synthesis will be to suggest applications to youth worker
practice, youth work policy, and the professionalization (or legitimization) of youth work.
Understanding how youth develop in youth programs, I argue, is the key to practice, policy, and
professionalization.
