Working With Youth Training this Fall

August 27, 2024

The Circle Education is hosting another Working with Youth workshop series this fall. This training runs on four consecutive Fridays, from September 27th until October 18th.

The Working with Youth workshop series will give you skills and confidence to connect and communicate with youth in a meaningful and supportive way. You’ll learn how to build trust and relationships and develop strong practices to ensure that group activities are designed and facilitated to encourage personal growth and development.

This workshop training is ideal for people who work, or regularly interact, with youth – education assistants, youth workers, sports coaches, parents and grandparents – and want to engage more effectively with youth in a variety of contexts, whether it be formal educational settings, after-school programming or even more personal and familial relationships.

In a fun-filled, hands-on set of sessions, you’ll get a chance to lead a group, design and play games that work, as well as develop strong communication and facilitation techniques that you can use not just with youth but in any group situation. You’ll leave the sessions with greater confidence and a bigger toolkit to ensure that you can connect with youth of all ages and experiences.

The ‘Stronger Connections with Youth’ training is an in-person course that will be facilitated at The Circle Education on Salt Spring Island.

Our facilitator Kate Nash has over fifteen years of experience working with youth in class and after-school programs. She is passionate about bringing people together and building confidence and empathy in youth.

When: Friday, September 27th, October 4th, October 11th and October 18th (6- 9pm).

Where: The Circle Education, 100-125b Rainbow Road

Costs:  $200
