Youth fields professionals create the conditions in which young people can thrive: They activate the vision for high-quality programs; develop tools, systems, and approaches for designing and sustaining such programs; and form relationships with and among participating youth. However while investments in afterschool programming have continued to rise (Peterson, 2022; Neitzey, 2023), youth-serving workers have remained below the radar. Unlike in K-12 education, policies intended to expand and enrich youth-serving programs have often focused on access and quality standards while neglecting the need for a workforce that is qualified, experienced, supported, and sustainable. Lack of support for workers' pay, benefits, and growth opportunities leads to high staff turnover and staff shortages. These factors in turn undermine efforts on the part of policymakers, systems leaders, and program directors to meet their goals for young people. In 2021, the American Institutes of Research (AIR) approached The Wallace Foundation to propose a study to create a national data set about the youth fields workforce. The goal of the resulting Power of Us Youth Fields Workforce Survey is to enable communities to better understand the youth-serving workforce and support it to thrive. This article describes the study.
