Youth Engagement 101:  Engagement Strategies 

How are the youth you know getting engaged? What strategies could you offer to encourage them to own their learning and take the next step toward their own development? Greg Williamson, Director of Youth Engagement at Dept. of Children, Youth and Families, will be joining us with a dynamic group of youth from Greenhill School who are training the adults in their lives on strategies for inclusive decision making and motivation. 

Youth Engagement 201: The Science and Theory of Hope: Creating Meaningful Pathways for Youth

Did you know that hope can be measured? Students who have hope can take more control of their own lives and with the right tools, you can increase the hope a student feels in their future. Join Chan Hellman, Ph.D. from Oklahoma University, and author of Hope Rising to learn the research base behind hope science and how you can create meaningful pathways for the youth in your community. 

Do the pre-reading assignment; complete the Hope worksheet, and share them with a friend or youth in your life.
