Our Mission
Partnership for Youth Development helps school age youth in New Orleans maximize their learning opportunities and educational experiences during out of school time. The Partnership maintains strong connections between community groups, schools, government agencies, and families. Serving as this critical link, we strive to leverage resources to community based organizations that serve youth and fill any gaps between existing local youth systems in order to create a strong infrastructure that effectively supports the children and youth of New Orleans.
Our day to day practice falls into the following areas:
We are committed to responding to and anticipating the needs of community based organizations that serve children and youth throughout our community. Our monthly Provider Meetings serve as the launching point for many of our activities, serving as a forum to discuss, plan, update, share resources and develop partnership with one another. Any interested community member is welcome to attend these meetings.
The Partnership for Youth Development works to establish linkages that support the improvement of expanded day and summer programs, as well as expand the broader network of organizations serving youth. Relationships are cultivated and maintained with other regional, state and national organizations to further the mission of the Partnership and our community providers.

The Partnership began offering AYD as a direct response to the need for quality programming for New Orleans youth. The course provides 30-hours of direct instruction and interactive facilitation aimed at providing each youth worker with a operating knowledge of the definition of youth development and the core youth development principles: that all young people seek to meet their fundamental needs, that youth should be challenged to achieve their highest potential, and that caring adults provide youth with a full range of supports necessary to succeed.
