Through courageous conversations, this course examines issues of equity and diversity through a youth development lens, and offers strategies for healing oppression in our work with youth.

This unique workshop offers fresh ideas for building safe spaces, and empowering methods that bring equity practices to youth programs and organizations. We will introduce a new perspective to help youth workers understand the types of power that influence the environment and the culture of the populations that they serve.

What Will I Learn?

Using a play-to-learn approach, participants will explore and engage with adult learning principles from the adult supervision course. Learn effective ways to implement active-learning techniques with designed training modules that are engaging and competency-based.

Lifting students higher: elevating the quality of before and after school programs to advance personal and academic success.

This Arts Education Brown Bag will Inspire Change by helping youth workers define community-based arts education and identify best practices, connect with their inner creativity through workshops provided by Imagine Bus Project, Performing Arts Workshop, and Streetside Stories, and get youth workers connected to resources.

Tell me more!

In this high-energy, interactive training, you’ll explore exciting practices and principles that support all youth to achieve healthy outcomes.

Creating a safe environment where youth & adults connect in meaningful ways.
Increasing youth participation & leadership in your program.
Supporting young people’s involvement in their communities.
Creating rich learning experiences for you.
