The best practice youth program design program proposal serves as the collaborative artifact for YDP 8020: Youth development programming in a contemporary society. I chose to put this artifact in the "place" category, due to this artifact focusing on being hosted at a special place, a Summer camp. During our course, we covered exemplary instructional practices that included collaboration, partnerships, and effective program models and strategies used across the nation. When developing this proposal, my partner and I looked at the issues that are facing our youth today and then were able to come up with a solution to help overcome them.
