Abstract

The University of Northern Iowa's Youth and Human Service Administration academic program established the Institute for Youth Leaders as a permanent home for creative activities to foster professionalism for the youth development field. In 1990, the Institute inaugurated a creative research and communications system for professionals in youth development organizations with the annual National Youth Leadership Symposium. The Symposium is a working conference that focuses on solving practical problems for the emerging youth development profession. The purpose of the Symposium is to serve as an agency of change by raising questions, examining circumstances, making decisions, and taking actions that realize the common ground and agreement needed to contribute to the development of the profession. It builds on the unique traditions, missions, and services of each youth organization, while cutting across the boundaries of divisions and differences that may limit efforts. The 1992 Symposium was committed to these purposes with the guiding theme: "Building Practice on Knowledge".
