Youth development leadership (YDL)

An M.Ed. for leaders in youth-serving organizations

Note: The YDL program is now located in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. It can be found under the family, youth, and community field of study. All YDL core courses have new CI course designators. These replace the former WCFE designators.

This program offers all youth workers—whether they are volunteers, teachers, religious youth group leaders, social workers, or community program directors—an opportunity to learn more about working with and on behalf of youth. It is a degree designed by University faculty and community youth work professionals.

Undergraduates interested in youth development may wish to major in youth studies, a degree-granting program within the School of Social Work.
