About the Youth Program Management and Evaluation Graduate Certificate Program

The 12-hour Graduate Certificate in Youth Agency Management and Administration is designed to prepare professionals who are either working directly with adolescents and young adults or are involved in education and research related to youth. The certificate is designed to assist youth professionals to develop and apply resources for successful implementation and management of youth-serving programs that give youth opportunities to learn, lead, connect, and serve. The program addresses the need for advanced education based on research and policy for optimal youth outcomes through a strengths-based curriculum. This certificate is available only through enrollment in the Innovative Digital Education Alliance (IDEA, formerly GPIDEA), a consortium of multiple high-quality universities.
