Promoting Responsibility and Leadership in Youth – IN-PERSON
In this workshop, we explore how and why to promote responsibility and provide leadership opportunities to youth. Responsibility emerges when youth have opportunities to take on increasingly difficult social obligations. In doing so, they become responsible for carrying out tasks, roles, and demands and they become responsible to others who are depending on them do follow through on those obligations. In this training, you will learn how to apply techniques that encourage youth ownership, accountability, and decision-making over tasks.
Upon successful completion of this training, the participant will earn 2 clock hours (.2 CEUs) of training.
