YOUNG ADULT DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
INTRODUCTION

The years from 18 to 25 are a time of stunning accomplishments and chilling risks, as a roller coaster of internal and external changes, including brain changes, propels young adults from adolescence toward full maturity. Yet we are only beginning to understand how and why this all happens—and sometimes doesn't.

The MIT Young Adult Development Project was created to capture the powerful new research findings that are emerging about young adulthood and to make these insights more accessible to those who need them, including colleges and universities, employers, parents, human service providers, and young adults themselves.

This web site distills the highlights from the research, while providing links to more resources, including contact information for the project's director. We look forward to hearing from you.
