Understanding Science-based Terms Relevant to Youth Work

Child Trends has developed an online glossary defining terms that youth work practitioners may commonly encounter in evidence-based literature, funding announcements, and practice recommendations.  The site organizes terms into three categories— contexts, interventions, and outcomes—and includes examples of how categories relate to one another. Additionally the glossary includes terms used in evaluation, such as ‘theory of change’ and ‘impact evaluation,’ along with links to resources that help visitors learn more.
