Promoting Responsibility & Leadership

New! This training is a new APOST offering, as it's part of the , a recently development series, from the Weikart Center for Program Quality.

This workshop is part of a sequence which should be taken in this order:

1. Foundations & Self-Awareness of Social Development.
2. Fostering Teamwork
3. Promoting Responsibility & Leadership

You must take Foundations & Self-Awareness of Social Development first. It's being offered on Aug 22 & Sept 19.

We strongly encourage registering for and taking all three workshops in a single season, because they build off one another.

Leadership and responsibility opportunities are not only foundational to high-quality programs, but are also important social emotional abilities for young people to build, develop, and practice.

In this workshop participants will explore how responsibility and leadership fit within a broader social-emotional learning (SEL) framework and develop practical skills to model roles and responsibilities and support young people in leveraging their strengths, interests, and leadership style as part of groups and relationships. All of this supports youth social development.

Participants will practice applying techniques learned to their programs with an eye toward facilitating young peoples’ ownership.

Workshop Facilitators:

Chelsea Freeman, Owner, Freeman's YOUnique Education Consulting &

Weston White, Associate Director, YouthPlaces

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

Because of the interactive nature of this workshop, in the event of low registration it may be cancelled. Advance notice will be provided.

This workshop is limited to 15 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 guidebook to use during the training and keep and will also receive a certificate of completion via email afterwards.
