As a Youth Program Director you'll be accountable for the youth, your staff, and yourself. You can choose to answer this question based on just one of those three or choose to explain them all. If you do choose to explain all three, don't over explain each of them.

If you are going to focus on just the youth, talk about your plans to improve the program to help the youth more. And explains the different ways that you'll make sure that is happening. This could be doing surveys with the youth and families about how they believe it could be improved. If you are going to focus on staff, talk about the different ways that you'll be able to support the staff. How will you make sure they are successful with the youth and also with keeping up to date on their continued education requirements? When talking about how you evaluate your own successful, remember that this can be a measurement form to hold yourself accountable like getting a certain amount of students into the program or if you're planning on bringing in new programming ideas.

Pick the one you feel most comfortable talking about and come up with a few talking points for your answer.
