Environment, more tangible, -structured curriculum (Catalano) Blurb Part 2

Drawing from Bundy and Restuccia PYD Lit Review.
The best positive youth development programs also feature some sort of improvement program, both on the organization and individual staff levels. This allows the staff to have a say in increasing the programs' effectiveness and also aims at improving the skills and abilities of the individual staff members (Bundy and Restuccia 4).
Related to the idea of program evolution and improvement, another important structural component of successful positive youth development programs is their ability to pour funds flexibly into different program components in response to changing wants and needs. Programs that have to go through a lengthy bureaucratic progress to reallocate resources or that must keep different money streams separate may have difficulty reacting in a timely and effective manner. 
On the environmental level, positive youth development programs must also possess "high, clear, and fair standards"  and "safe, reliable, and accessible activities and spaces" (4). Not only do these components serve as inducements for youth to come and keep coming to the program, they also lead directly to positive personal growth for the youth.
