Promotes Summer Employment Program and Opportunities

The Iowa Collaboration for Youth Development (ICYD) is sponsoring two days of training on the administration of the Youth PQA on May 27 – 28, 2009 at the Polk County River Place, 2309 Euclid in Des Moines from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  Those interested in using the Youth PQA solely for internal self-assessment of programs have the option of attending only day one of the training (May 27).  Those that are interested in more advanced training and use of the Youth PQA as external observers (and given the opportunity to become “reliable” assessors at a later session) should attend both days of training.  The training will be provided by Amy Croll, Community!Youth Concepts, Inc.  Amy has formally been trained by the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation and has been providing this training throughout Iowa and across the country for two years.  The training is being sponsored by the Iowa Collaboration for Youth Development.   While there is no registration fee, registration is required by May 13, 2009. Space is limited, so register early.To register for one or both days please complete the registration form and return via mail, email or fax.
