In order to learn, stay engaged, and develop as individuals, teens need a safe, predictable, joyful and inclusive space where they can experience belonging, significance and emotional safety. They also need to feel comfortable taking risks and working with their peers.

In this three-part series, you will first learn how to engage middle school youth in a way that empowers and motivates them. We’ll explore the adolescent brain and discuss proven methods for developing engaging programs and activities that keep teens coming back.

Then, you will learn how to create a safe space for teens as they interact with you and with each other. We’ll examine strategies for building connection, fun group activities, and relationship-building meeting structures that will help you to establish a community that promotes positive experiences for teens.
