Positive Youth Development (PYD) is an approach that empowers communities to foster young people's full potential by focusing on building competencies, connections, values, and meaningful participation. This approach emphasizes working with youth rather than for youth, creating a supportive environment for their holistic development. By shifting the focus from fixing problems to nurturing positive attributes, PYD aims to meet young people's changing developmental needs. Successful youth development includes ensuring physical and psychological safety, promoting supportive relationships, providing opportunities for belonging, fostering positive social norms, and facilitating skill-building. The Bronfenbrenner Model of Ecological Theory of Youth Development highlights the interconnected environmental systems that influence individuals' development. Understanding the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem is crucial in supporting youth development effectively.

People live their lives surrounded by many different environments at the same time. People are affected by multiple layers of environment. The environments are also linked and affect each other. When one of five systems change, change may occur in other systems as well. There are give basic environmental systems that affect development.
5 BASIC ENVIROMENTAL SYSTEMS Microsystem -- The activities / interactions in the immediate environment -- The microsystem refers to relations between the child and the immediate environment, Mesosystem -- Connections between microsystem. -- The interaction among two or more settings. Exosystem -- An individual is not directly involved -- Contexts children are not a part of but may influence development Macrosystem -- The larger socio-- cultural context, cultural values and expectations Chronosystem -- events occurring in the context of passing time .
The development is the outcome of interactions between the Person and Many environments that continually emerge and Change over time. To truly understand and promote youth development, we must appreciate the entire context of their lives.
