Technical Assistance

YDTRC offers youth-serving organizations and local youth networks in Connecticut a wide range of technical assistance, support services, and other resources. In addition to our ongoing training opportunities and group workshops for frontline youth workers and supervisors, YDTRC is available to consult with on an individual basis. We can assist you directly or help you find the resources you need to be as successful as possible in your work with young people.

Technical Assistance Networks 
YDTRC, through its mission as part of the national B.E.S.T. Initiative, consults with youth-serving organizations throughout Connecticut.  Our goal is to assist youth-serving organizations in implementing the youth development framework through a carefully facilitated process of agency self-assessment, action planning, staff training and structured interagency network sessions with key resource people.  A series of tools and resource materials are available. YDTRC staff can also help you link to local networks in your area. If you are interested in learning more or becoming a part of the Technical Assistance Network, call Deborah Stewart at (203) 789-7645.
