The 5 C’s of Positive
Youth Development

All of ICAN’s programs focus on Positive Youth Development, a nationally-recognized youth engagement model that focuses not on “fixing” behavior problems, but building and nurturing all a child’s beliefs, behaviors, knowledge, attributes and skills. All activities and lessons have an emphasis on the “5 C’s of Positive Youth Development” – confidence, character, competence, connection and contribution.
