Youth Development Specialist Graduate Certificate

About the Youth Development Specialist Graduate Certificate Program

The 13-hour Graduate Certificate in Youth Development is designed to assist youth professionals to train individuals in the second decade of life with the skills necessary for a successful transition into adulthood. The target audience is professionals who are either working directly with adolescents and young adults or are involved in education and research related to youth. This certificate is available only through enrollment in Great Plains IDEA. The program addresses the need for advanced education in youth issues and does so through a strengths-based curriculum.
