Present day youth development requires a new approach to involving youth in more active, engaging, and influential leadership roles. Teens and youth program professionals recognize the need young leaders have for more mentorship and accountability from adults to grow into their leadership potential.
This course is intended to help create effective and lasting efforts to steer youth toward positive outcomes by sharing strategies, resources, and best practices around youth development and how individuals can create and scale projects and programs to achieve broad impact. The course will specifically look at the mentor-mentee relationship, how to create effective programs for professional skills development, and how to guide youth through conflict management and resolution.
