With over 150,000 copies in circulation, Helping Kids Succeed – Alaskan Style, has established a benchmark for building capacity for a large youth development initiative. Written by and for Alaskans, this book describes the power of the 3rd and 4th metric of Integrative Youth Development; the tangible and intangible supports that kids need to succeed. Books currently being developed are 1) the youth mission statement builder; 2) the overview of Integrative Youth Development; and 3) a children’s book around the seven metrics of IYD. As well as books being written by ICAR-US staff and associates, numerous books have guided the creation of our approach. For a conversation about what books might best suit the needs of your initiative and work, please contact ICAR-US for a consultation.
