In February 2017, nearly 40 experienced creative youth development (CYD) practitioners from Southern California gathered at the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, CA to hear from a panel of cross-sector leaders. The event, hosted by the Creative Youth Development National Partnership, explored opportunities for collaboration between the creative youth development field and adjacent sectors. The key question was: How can CYD and adjacent sectors actively identify shared priorities and break down barriers to effective partnership? This GuildNotes article explores answers to that question.
