Working with Children and Youth

Working with Children and Youth

Out-of-school time program staff need a strong foundation and accurate understanding of developmental concepts and how these concepts are manifested in children and youth of particular ages. This foundation facilitates staff’s ability to work effectively with children of diverse ages and plan and carry out developmentally appropriate and supportive activities

Behavior Guidance

Behavior Guidance

Out-of-school time program staff need the skills to guide and manage the variety of behaviors of children and youth on a daily basis.  The development of children and youth can cause them to behave in certain ways and when staff understand what is driving the behavior, they can help to guide and encourage acceptable behaviors in order to cultivate an environment encouraging children and youth’s growth and development. 

Job Readiness

Job Readiness

Staff new to the out-of-school time field need a foundational understanding of core competencies of youth workers and foundational youth development principles. Through this training series, new staff will be equipped to incorporate those ideas into strategies to create safe environments for children and youth as well as effective behavior guidance and management techniques.

Serving Older Youth
