ACT for Youth - Program Toolkit for Youth Development Professionals
Practical resources and evidence-informed tools to design, implement, and sustain effective youth programs
The Program Toolkit on ACT for Youth’s website serves as a comprehensive resource hub for organizations and professionals working with adolescents and young adults. It provides guidance on meaningful youth engagement, detailed planning tools (like logic models), and curated “activity toolkits” covering areas such as social and emotional learning (SEL), media literacy, life skills for adulthood, inclusiveness, and trauma-informed practices.
Additionally, the Toolkit links to evidence-based program directories and research summaries, helping practitioners select proven approaches and tailor interventions to their youth population’s needs.
Overall, it helps youth-serving organizations turn research and best practices into real-world programming that promotes healthy development and supports adolescent well-being.
