Resilient Leadership Series – Part One – VIRTUAL

This series is only being offered to OST Directors and Activity Leaders from the previous and incoming cohort sites.    

Participants are REQUIRED TO ATTEND ALL TRAININGS in the series and complete two modeling sessions at their program site and assignments in between trainings.

Resilient Leadership is a 2-part series and ongoing community of practice for OST directors, assistant directors, activity leaders and other designated site leaders whose programs are implementing Well-being and Life Skills programs and practices. Participants, both previous and incoming Well-being and Life Skills cohort leaders, learn transformational leadership practices, emotional intelligence tools, and data-informed coaching and mentoring strategies to sustain meaningful implementation and long-term impact on the socio-emotional well-being of staff and youth.

In Part one of this series, participants will review the pillars of effective implementation and create a strategic vision and plan based on a guided Well-being Implementation and Needs Support (WINS) analysis to support their teams in working towards resiliency goals for adults and youth. Participants will focus on embedding key staff practices, program structures and routines, and youth engagement strategies that lay the foundation for a positive and inclusive climate and culture in OST.
