Programs for Youth and Young Adults: Science-informed Definitions

This online resource serves as a toolkit for creating a common understanding of adolescent development among practitioners, grant writers, program managers, and other stakeholders serving young people by defining related terms and concepts. The resource offers a three-section glossary of terms to reflect: contexts, which describe the economic, educational, social, and family circumstances in which youth and young adults currently live or were raised; interventions, which reflect the approaches and measures used in programs supporting young people; and outcomes, which cover the potential mental, social, and physical health results of these interventions or the gains made in educational attainment or newly-gained career skills. The resource also provides definitions of commonly used evaluation approaches.
