SPRING 2008

Taking It to the Streets

Do you work with youth who have yet to step outside of their comfort zone and recognize their true potential?
This workshop will challenge you to consider a few thought-provoking questions: What would happen if the teens you work with stepped outside of their comfort zone? How would they impact their communities if they reached beyond their current boundaries? This workshop will show you how to help youth become involved community citizens. You will learn the possibilities that can become realities when you take advantage of “moments of opportunity.”

You’ll learn:

  1. How to relate better to others
  2. New ways to communicate with youth & parents
  3. Techniques to get youth more involved in their communities and schools
