A
Resource Site for Teens:
Youthhood.
The
Youthhood is a free, interactive Web site that young adults and
their teachers, parents, and mentors can use to plan for life after
high school. Grounded in the principals of universal design, the
site addresses the future planning needs of all youth. The concept
of Youthhood, as well as its content and activities, is based on
current research in positive youth development and transition
planning and their impact on post-high school success. The
curriculum was developed by the National Center on Secondary
Education and Transition (NCSET).
