Community Development Model

The Youth Development Strategy Aotearoa (2002) is based on the knowledge that "...youth development is continually informed by effective research, evaluation and information gathering."( p24).  The strategy also notes the importance of a community approach when undertaking this research: In a field where information changes and evolves quickly, it is important to stay well informed. Youthline keeps in close contact with other agencies that work with young people, to keep track of recent findings.


Youthline is also continually involved in generating new research. The details of past and current projects can be found here.
