Promoting Responsibility & Leadership

New!
This training is a new APOST offering, as it's part of the Social & Emotional Learning Youth Work Methods Workshops, a recently development series, from The Forum for Youth Investment | The Weikart Center for Youth Program Quality (https://forumfyi.org/weikartcenter/workshops/).

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.

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.
