This training will focus on developing dynamic and educational service and project-based work experience for your youngest participants; we will spend time as a group on the planning, organization, and management aspects of this tier of YouthWorks. Participants will explore previously successful project-based models with an eye to building off those examples to create their own model, with attention to local needs and strengths. The session will also provide opportunities to examine the “Starting off Strong” version of Signal Success with the goal or providing younger participants an introductory experience of YouthWorks and employment that also bolsters the learning opportunities in their service and project-based experience.

Sites implementing the Service and Project-Based Learning Tier programming must send at least one staff member.
