Citywide Youth Development Plan & Framework For Children and Youth Programs (“Youth Plan”)

The Youth Development Administration is charged with refining, developing, and promoting the City’s overall strategic vision to achieve citywide youth development goals in accord with the Youth Plan. The Youth Plan guides the City in the design, operations and evaluation of its children and youth program investments, with a concerted application of resources toward young people in greatest need. The Youth Plan outlines goals from cradle-to-career, as well as a framework for integrating youth program quality at scale through common evidence-informed practices.
