In youth-centered programs, the role of staff is to be the “guide by the side” not the “sage on the stage.” Staff provide structure, support and coaching to help young people take leadership, communicate and make decisions that are important to them.

Your staff need to adopt some new practices, strengthen some old practices or just learn some basic skills. How will you help them grow and improve in their jobs? Is a one day workshop a good fit for your needs?
