Structure and Clear Limits in a youth program lay the foundation for a safe environment that supprts young people.
This interactive workshop helps out-of-school time staff establish appropriate structure (routines and rituals) and clear limits (norms and behavior guidelines), fostering a feeling of fairness and predictability that supports young people to explore and express themselves in a conducive learning environment.
