YDN works to promote the success of all young people through its policy work. YDN seeks to educate the community about the value of the youth development approach, we work to change policies at the organizational and community level through publication of research and policy briefs, by convening stakeholders to examine practices and discuss areas for systems and policy change, by presenting the research to policy makers, by building the capacity of others to influence policy. YDN also serves on various advisory boards and participates as a partner in various initiatives to bring about policy change. Policy Changes include Community Education, Policy Briefs and Policy Initiatives.
