AED Center for Youth Development (CYD)
The AED Center for Youth Development engages youth as global citizens, advancing innovative and authentic solutions for the success of all youth. Central to AED's organizational philosophy of youth development is the strong belief that giving adequate opportunities for positive involvement can be critical to ensuing long-term stability, producing effective outcomes within communities, and offering protection from future conflicts.
Afterschool.org
The Afterschool.org website is for afterschool program directors who want to improve the quality of their programs. All sorts of other people will find it useful, too--people like program staff, volunteers, parents, community members, policymakers, funders, researchers, and anyone else who cares about children. As part of the website, Promising Practices in Afterschool (or "PPAS") is an effort to find and share things that are working in afterschool programs.
On the Afterschool.org website, you will find tons of information that you can use in your own program. You can see promising practices from programs around the country, find resources and professional development opportunities, and share your own "aha's." Whether you're interested in planning activities for your program, finding funding, or looking for a new curriculum, the Afterschool.org website has just what you need!
To start searching for promising practices or other information, just click on the PPAS logo in the upper lefthand corner (this will always take you back to the homepage from anywhere in the site)!
