This training is for you! During this session, we will review the types of sensitive questions youth ask, discuss strategies for responding, and practice role-playing in a values-neutral method. Feel free to bring questions you’ve encountered as examples. link to registration: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/answering-tough-questions-tickets-12921445391 Oct. 13th 12-2 PM: Youth Voice Research shows that quality programs incorporate youth input at both activity and organizational levels. This workshop emphasizes the importance of offering real choices and meaningful participation to youth, and nurturing youth leadership. The workshop focuses on providing meaningful choice and opportunities for youth input within the youth program itself. link to...
