Youthhood
The Youthhood includes informational content, interactive activities, an online magazine, and a wealth of other opportunities for youth to connect what's important to them to their learning experiences.We believe the best way to engage an audience is to involve them in the development of a product. So we hired youth in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area to create the graphics for the Web site, and wrote the content from a youth perspective. We also met with youth and their instructors at numerous points during the development to get their feedback on the site.
