Tacoma, Washington goes YCC
Goodwill Industries of Tacoma WA is hot underway in the development of a new 12 million dollar Youth Career Development Center (YCDC). Instead of following the traditional one-stop employment center, administrators at Goodwill wanted to make sure the new center possesses a high degree of YCC. To this end, YDRF was called in to lead a multi-partner planning process in the development of the new facility. Representatives of various youth serving organizations are coming together over a three month period to lay out a strategic plan for the YCDC that is based on the three principles of YCC: Positive Peer Influence, Youth Involvement and Youth Popular culture.
