AFLP Positive Youth Development (AFLP PYD)

MO-11-0052 AFLP

In September 2010, the California AFLP received a grant award of $2 million per year for three years through the Affordable Care Act Pregnancy Assistance Fund (PAF) administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Adolescent Health. This grant is being used to develop and implement evidence-informed program strategies, and conduct subsequent evaluation to strengthen its AFLP. This initiative, known as AFLP Positive Youth Development (PYD), is being piloted in 11 AFLP sites. AFLP PYD links a PYD case management intervention with integrated life planning in order to meet the AFLP goals. A formative evaluation of AFLP PYD will inform the development of a standardized, evidence-based, intervention for AFLP case management throughout California.
