Positive Youth Development in Aotearoa
Positive Youth Development in Aotearoa (PYDA) is a comprehensive resource shaped by contributions from experienced youth workers, researchers, and experts in Ōtautahi. Initially developed in 2009 and refined over the years, it offers an evidence-based framework that fosters a deeper understanding of youth development through a uniquely bicultural lens. Organized around essential outcomes and approaches, PYDA serves as a guide for anyone supporting young people’s growth and well-being.
