  1. Where do the core competencies come from? Early in 2002, a group of statewide leaders within the youth development field, as well as state government, higher education, and prevention services were convened to address 1) the shortage of well trained, qualified youth workers in Indiana, and 2) concerns related to the need to raise the status of the field of youth work by developing core competencies and then qualifying practitioners in the field with a professional credential. On August 29, 2003, what became known as the Indiana Youth Development Credential Congress ratified a set of core competencies and a credentialing process that is the Indiana Youth Development (IYD) Credential.

  2. These five general areas are divided into the following 16 competency areas: • Child/Youth Development o Knowledge of Child/Youth Development o Observation/Assessment Methods o Individual Differences o Guidance Skills • Families and Communities o Respect for Diverse Cultures in Communities o Works with Families • Program/Service Environment o Assures a Healthy and Safe Environment o Uses Indoor/Outdoor Environments .

  3. • Program Content/Curriculum o Planning for Interpersonal (Social) and Intrapersonal (Self) Development o Planning for Cognitive and Language/Literacy Learning o Planning for Physical Learning o Planning for Creative Learning • Professionalism o Self-Development o Appreciates Children/Youth o Ethical and Responsible Employee o Professional Development Each of these 16 competency areas are divided into functional areas with goal statements and criteria for assessment

  4. Standard Process for an IYD requires that a person have: 1. At least a High School Diploma or GED 2. 480 hours of experience working with children/youth 3. Approximately 180 hours of completed classes/training that cover Youth Development, Families and Communities, Program Environment, Program Content and Professionalism (this is approximately 12 college credits) 4.
