Introduction to Youth Driven Spaces
Research demonstrates that providing youth greater voice and leadership in the programs that serve them has many benefits: their participation grows, as does their engagement, interest, and investment. A greater leadership role provides new opportunities to develop 21st century skills like problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking.
Join us for two full days of strategies, practices, and ideas for how to support effective youth leadership in your programming, including the stages of building a youth advisory council. We design our workshops to be active, engaging and focused on practical strategies and practices that can be directly applied to your work.
Registration is available to organizations in the 7-county region of SE Michigan. Each training costs $25 per participant, which includes lunch and refreshments. And to ensure many organizations get access there is a limit of four participants per organization.
