Leadership and responsibility opportunities are not only foundational to high-quality programs, but are also important social-emotional abilities for young people to build, develop, and practice. In this workshop, participants will explore how responsibility and leadership fit within a broader SEL framework and develop practical skills to model roles and responsibilities and support young people in leveraging their strengths, interests, and leadership style as part of groups and relationships. Participants will practice applying techniques learned to their programs with an eye toward facilitating young peoples’ ownership. To learn more or schedule a training contact the Weikart Center.
