Youth Served
In Year 1, Cohort 1 & Cohort 2 grantees served 7,854 unduplicated youth—i.e., the number of individual youth served, counted once, no matter how many times they received services across year one. Grantees engaged these youth in 192,748 program touchpoints—i.e., all youth served, counted each time they received a service.

Grantees were tasked with providing a wide array of youth services and activities, which are linked to the basic themes cited in literature on Positive Youth Development (PYD). A qualitative thematic analysis of Cohort 1 revealed 13 community-defined positive youth development approaches, that not only align with the literature, but go beyond it.
