Youth Voice

Why should your program support youth voice? To build youth motivation; promote learning and self-direction; and improve programs and communities.

Supporting youth voice and choice doesn't mean relinquishing all control to youth. This interactive workshop guides staff to support young people by providing opportunities for voice and choice. With proper support and scaffolding over time, young people grow in responsible decision-making and leadership.

Participants will leave this session with practical skills that can be implemented immediately.

Registration is open for this event until it fills up or until two days before the workshop.

This workshop is limited to 20 participants. We will have a waiting list that we'll use to both fill spots that open up and also help plan our future workshop topic schedule.

Each participant will be provided with a workbook to use during the training and keep and receive a certificate of completion via email afterwards.
