Intercultural Competence The development of intercultural competence, defined as the ability to work with people from different cultures, is critical to bridge across difference. In the UC ANR 4-H YDP, a team of professionals coalesced to begin to change the organizational culture of the 4-H Youth Development Program -- a 100-year-old youth program that had not adapted well to the demographic change in Californian communities, where 53% of youth are Latino. The Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI©) was used to define baseline data and progress. Join Fe and the team to learn how this was accomplished and lessons learned.
