Fostering Teen Engagement
Across Space and Time
Are you looking for dynamic and innovative ways to reach the teens you work with? Are you struggling to design programming that truly engages teen learners? This workshop introduces participants to a model of instruction and engagement that guides teens towards solving a real-world problem impacting their community and lives.
Cultivating Allyship 101
Are you exhausted by taking on the systems of oppression in your workplace all by yourself? Do you need your coworkers to step up when it comes to allyship? In this workshop participants learn techniques for effectively building their team of allies.
From Surviving to Thriving
Too many of the youths we encounter in our work have experienced some type of trauma, which can shape how they move through the world and impact our relationship with them. This workshop is specifically designed to address the unique concerns of out of school time educators and coaches when tackling teen trauma.
Mapping Your Allyship Journey
Are you invested in creating a workplace that values diversity, equity, and inclusion? Are you looking for ways to become a better ally to the marginalized members of your team? In this workshop we introduce to a dynamic model for effective, authentic, and intentional allyship.
Mentoring 101
Are you looking for support in the right places? Across the extensive conversations we’ve had with educators and coaches, we’ve heard time and again that you are struggling to find mentorship and support that meets your unique needs.
Creating Advocacy within Your Organization
None of us can succeed when we feel completely alone. In order to achieve our goals, we all need the support of a strong network of advocates. In this workshop, participants will learn about three different forms of advocacy: Mentorship, Sponsorship, and Championship.
Every Goal Needs a Plan
Do you have a dream for your programming, but no idea how to make it actionable? Do you encounter a new roadblock every time you get started? Let’s work together to clear your path to success.
