Based on advice and information from Peace Corps volunteers, staff, and experts, this manual provides creative, innovative ideas for activities for youth that are founded on development principles. Part 1 provides information about these different kinds of youth a volunteer may encounter in the community: in-school, out-of-school, differently abled, street, working, refugees and internally displaced, and orphaned youth. Part 2 on creating credibility, addressing sustainability, and building capacity covers ideas about how to build relationships with young people and gather information about the youth environment in the area; volunteer roles; stages of adolescent development; a theory that emphasizes starting from strengths and assets as a highly effective approach to working with youth; Peace Corps experience in strength-based work and its youth development framework; asset types identified through youth and community research; and planning, implementing, and evaluating a youth activity for ways to include youth work in a Peace Corps Project Plan. Part 3 is a collection of reminders and descriptions of useful tools, techniques, and games divided into these five categories: assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation, and games, songs, and other activities or "60 Things to Do on the Spot." Part 4 describes promising activities volunteers have implemented. Part 5 includes lists of 15 items from the Peace Corps' Information Collection and Exchange and 11 organizations; a 28-item bibliography; and 88 endnotes. (YLB)
