Character development is a key element of youth development at the Y. In this 30-minute eLearning you will explore what character development is in the context of your youth programs, identify how your role supports character development, and locate the tools and resources available to you to help you on your character journey. Learners will be introduced to the five adult practice areas (emotion management, empathy, personal development, relationship building, and responsibility) and shown how they can help develop those skills in youth through their role at the Y.
