YouthPower Communities of Practice

YouthPower’s Learning Network aims to work with the global community in the exploration, evaluation, and strengthening of youth-serving programs around the world. At the center of the network are YouthPower’s Communities of Practice (CoPs) – social networks that drive discovery of promising practices in positive and cross-sectoral youth development. There are currently four active CoPs under YouthPower Learning: Youth Engagement, Gender and Positive Youth Development, Youth in Peace and Security and Cross-Sectoral Skills for Youth.
