An IYD can be earned by anyone who works in a program that serves children 5 to 18, has a High School Diploma or GED, and has worked 480 hours in the field during the past 5 years. Experience can be as a teacher’s aide, youth worker, after-school staff, scout leader, athletic/recreation coach, camp counselor, or any similar capacity working with youth. If you currently hold or are close to completing an Associate, Bachelor or Master degree with at least 12 credits in Youth Development or a related field, you may be able to earn an IYD Credential with little additional work.
