Introduction to the Active-Participatory Approach

OST professionals can develop and/or enhance their skills to better identify youth needs and encourage motivation and engagement. The Active- Participatory Approach to youth work was designed to address these goals. This youth-centered approach is the foundation for the Youth Work Methods Series.

Training Objectives

Participants will:

a. Identify the four guiding principles of the approach.
b. Recognize best practice behaviors.
c. Develop plans that effectively incorporate the active-participatory approach with youth at their sites.
