AND COLLECTING<br />
INFORMATION TO<br />
GUIDE YOUR JOURNEY<br />
To know where you are going, you have to understand where you are.<br />
To better understand the current state of your Y’s capacity to support high<br />
quality youth development programs, your team will complete a capacity<br />
assessment. A capacity assessment provides an opportunity to reflect on<br />
your Y’s systems, policies and procedures in place organization-wide to<br />
deliver youth programs.<br />
To better understand your current program design and adult behaviors<br />
through a character development lens, your implementation team will<br />
complete program and staff/volunteer self-reflections.<br />
At this stage, invite your <strong>CDLI</strong> nominated program staff and volunteers<br />
to complete the self-reflection tool; program leaders should complete the<br />
program reflection tool. From there you will have more information to<br />
help you identify your strengths and your opportunities for growth when<br />
supporting the development of character in youth in your nominated program.<br />
