Closing Date: 2024-06-04
This training is for advocates and practitioners who work with youth and want to better align their values around power, agency, and play with the design, implementation, and evaluation of youth programs. The course will translate feminist values into tangible principles and practices for how to build those values into youth spaces. Participants will explore a feminist approach based on an ecological model that has unique positive outcomes like high community engagement and change, improved mental health, increased self awareness, and quality relationships with adults.
This training will center spaces that serve 14-21 year olds. Training methods include interactive activities and pedagogical examples that participants can replicate in youth spaces. Participants will also explore obstacles and barriers to the work and collectively brainstorm solutions. You will walk away with resources, a community to dream with, and having experiential learning that can be replicated for your youth spaces.
Why take this training? Although most communities and NGOs know that youth development is important for our present and future, many programs can leave youth with an instilled colonial perspective of their lived reality and without transferable skills. Whereas traditional models of youth development emphasize building individual assets, a feminist youth approach emphasizes values-driven, critical consciousness-raising programming that can have high immediate community impact and high long-term individual impact. Feminist youth programming positions youth to walk into the future prepared to lead change.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will interrogate personal and structural values that are barriers to youth agency
- Participants will ideate tangible practices to make spaces accessible and inclusive to youth with a diversity of intersectional identities
- Participants will understand approaches to critical consciousness raising
- Participants will receive external resources further explaining best practices and internal resources for curriculum development
- Participants will cultivate creativity to envision new and just spaces that center young people within their organizations
- Participants will embody a youth-centered praxis
