Lynne's research and extension work focuses on youth development specifically on community youth development, community programs that promote the positive development of young people, and public policy. She also works with Extension Faculty and other community members to strengthen their community-based programs through evaluation and professional development. Her research concentrates on the assessment of the influence of youth programs on the development of young people with a specific emphasis in understanding why young people choose to participate or not participate in youth programs.

Arizona Youth Collaborative
The Arizona Youth Collaborative was created to support the youth development work in Arizona through professional development, research, evaluation, and policy work. Currently, there are two new projects:
- Understanding Youth Development: An Applied Approach - A course being offered to both Extension Faculty and Graduate Students. The Extension Faculty will use this course as the basis for a youth development-training program.
- Understanding Youth Development: Keys to Successful Programming- A twelve month professional development program. This program will offer youth development professionals the opportunity to become active members of a local and a statewide learning community. Community programs will meet monthly to address key issues in youth development. Participants will receive a certificate of completion.
Family Consumer Sciences Extension Scholars Program
Currently there are nine Extension Faculty involved in this program. This is a collaborative project between the School and Cooperative Extension. This program provides Extension County Faculty the opportunity to work collaboratively with key research faculty in the Norton School of Family and Consumer Sciences. Currently, there are nine Family Consumer Sciences Extension Scholars.
Writing Circles
This program offers Extension County Faculty the opportunity to work together with key School Research faculty to gather current research data and articles, collectively analyze this information, and develop publications.
