Close out the series with a training focused on youth engagement and empowerment. The Georgia Statewide Afterschool Network (GSAN), in partnership with the David P. Weikart Center for Youth Program Quality, is offering a Youth Work Methods Training focused on Youth Voice and the Introduction to the Active Participatory Approach (APA).

This training is designed to deepen staff understanding of how to meaningfully engage youth by centering their voice and participation in program design and delivery.

Participants will explore how to:

  • Create opportunities for youth to share ideas, make choices, and take ownership
  • Apply the Active Participatory Approach as a framework for engaging youth
  • Foster environments that support youth leadership and voice

This session is ideal for programs looking to move beyond basic engagement and strengthen youth-centered practices that promote leadership, autonomy, and meaningful participation.
