Youth and community development at WMU
The youth and community development concentration within the family science and human development major, prepares change agents to transform communities through an intentional investment in youth via interdisciplinary coursework and community-based experiences. This concentration invites students to critically examine youth within the context of families and communities and how individuals and organizations can address social inequalities, organize effective learning environments, and develop skills, competencies, and practices that promote human flourishing.
