Prevention First is excited to host in-person learning community sessions to help Reimagine Youth Development Grantees feel informed and prepared to facilitate the civic engagement and leadership development curriculum for the youth in your program. The purpose of a learning community is to facilitate learning, collaboration, and professional development. We hope you will join us to learn and share facilitation and adaptation tips and tools as you embark upon and engage in this content. Prepare to leave this session with innovative ideas, resources, and connections that will be useful in collaborating beyond the training space.
Objectives
After the learning community sessions, participants will be prepared with implementation and adaptation tips and tools to:
- Identify and articulate the program's purpose, goals, and expectations
- Plan for facilitation of content by developing a working agenda
- Make appropriate adaptations and modifications to incorporate program goals, including communication, conflict resolution, and problem-solving techniques
- Prepare for the activities by identifying and securing any/all materials, equipment, and handouts needed for each unit
- Facilitate the curriculum confidently and effectively using a trauma-informed and racial equity lens
Note: Prevention First will also host virtual learning community events to meet with assigned Grantees before and after facilitating the civic engagement curriculum.
