Charity officials who work with children can get free, on-line help on a range of topics — such as evaluating their programs, raising money, and training employees — through a new Web site.
The site, which is illustrated with crayon drawings by children, is run by the National Youth Development Information Center, a project of the National Assembly of National Voluntary Health and Social Welfare Organizations, in Washington.
Features include information on federal- and foundation-grants programs, policy alerts on legislation related to kids, and listings of jobs and internships at youth charities.
The site also offers a collection of youth-related statistics and a searchable data base that helps users locate news articles and other documents on “youth development” — a term the center uses to describe programs that help children “become socially, morally, emotionally, physically, and cognitively competent.”
