Towards
Shared Prosperity: Change-Making in the CYD Movement (PDF)
Della M. Hughes, Susan P. Curnan
Seasoned CYD Journal readers will remember our winter 2000
edition, in which we published the initial CYD framework. Two years
later, we are proud to present the revised framework, Towards a
Shared Prosperity. This offering takes a fresh look at Community
Youth Development-the assumptions, worldview, strategies, and activities
that will shape the CYD movement in the years ahead.
