YDN also connects with the youth provider community through print and web vehicles. Organizations have complete access to the YDN web site, containing regional training opportunities relevant to youth development; grant and funding opportunities; job, internship and volunteer listings; up-to-date “in the field” research; reports on trends and developments in the youth development field; and a monthly downloadable “ice breaker” tip to use with youth programs. YDN currently maintains a database of 4,600 contacts including individuals and organizations.
