Nashville’s Vision for Holistic Youth Development – Home

The Vision is…

Nashville’s Vision for Holistic Youth Development (the Vision) is a youth outcomes framework that guides us to create a community where young people can develop the skills they need to thrive in school, their future careers, and in their life as a whole. The “holistic” approach considers all the skills people need to be successful – not just academic skills such as reading and writing, but social and emotional skills as well.
