About Us

Our research team has studied adolescent development for the last 10 years. We have utilized Positive Youth Development (PYD) strategies to dynamically co-create character and identity with male adolescents through motivation, self-regulation, and measurable performance outcomes when socioeconomically disadvantaged students successfully complete the 100 & Beyond School Program. PYD has its origins in the field of prevention, evolving from a single-problem prevention context, such as reducing substance abuse or juvenile delinquency, to an expansive resiliency-focused strategy promoting positive asset building.
