Positive Youth Development is a concept which recognizes that merely preventing problem behaviors is not all that is needed to prepare youth for the future. Or, in the often quoted words of Karen Pittman "problem free is not fully prepared." Additionally, evaluations of some positive youth development programs are showing that they can reduce problem behaviors. Volume 11(2) focuses on the topic of positive youth development and its real-world applications.
