Abstract
Team Building is an important issue for Youth Development professionals. We utilize team-focused work to achieve our objectives in educating youth. The team building skills we integrate into programming serve to prepare youth for the dynamic, highly interpersonal work environment of today. “Team Building: Proven Strategies for Improving Team Performance, 4th Edition,” by W. Dyer, W.G. Dyer, and J. Dyer (2007), provides a practical theoretical framework for those interested in team building application, training, and practice in everyday work.

Working in teams is an essential component of professionals in the youth development field. Do we work closely with other youth workers in program planning in delivery, but we train youth and adult volunteers and staff members to work more effectively in group situations. A strong foundation in team building is a valuable practical skill to be successful in youth development, and a life skill that should be a strong component in a well-balanced youth training program.
