Do you want to provide a supportive environment for youth through powerful learning opportunities, youth-centered relationships where youth feel heard and an environment with structure and clear limits? 

In this training series, participants will learn the difference between active learning and “hands-on” learning and how to communicate with youth in a way that makes them feel supported and heard. This training also discusses how to prevent chaos in an afterschool environment without stifling the positive energy of youth.
