Methods and Tools with Youth Training in April

March 10, 2026

The Circle Education is hosting another ‘Methods and Tools with Youth’ Training in April. Experience the circle practices that are transforming how youth connect, learn, and feel seen. This engaging, hands-on training invites you to step into the circles our facilitators use to build trust, belonging and brave conversations. The three sessions are on April 24th (7:00-9:00 pm), April 25th (10 am-5 pm), and April 26th (10 am-2 pm).

With this training, you’ll gain practical strategies to:

• Facilitate meaningful circles that open dialogue and mutual understanding.

• Use games, activities, and improv to boost engagement and connection.

• Foster trust, confidence, and authenticity with young people.

Led by: Kate Nash, longtime Circle facilitator and curriculum developer whose theatre and improv background makes every session dynamic, playful, and deeply grounded in youth development.

Perfect for: Educators, youth workers, and anyone supporting young people in schools or community programs.

This 12-hour training combines fresh ideas and ready-to-use tools to create spaces where every youth feels valued and heard.

COST: $200/person
