YALSA Competencies for Serving Youth and Online Badges

YALSA Competencies for Serving Youth and Online Badges Survey

YALSA is currently developing a new continuing education project that combines YALSA’s Competencies for Serving Youth and online badges. The focus of this project is to create interactive learning opportunities for library staff who work with teens. Through earning badges, library staff will increase their knowledge of how to provide excellent service to young adults.

YALSA wants to know what you think about online badges. Please let us know about your experience and interest in virtual badging.
