Youth Workers Training Retreat
a weekend workshop at Pendle Hill with Kri Burkander and Lisa Graustein
This fast-paced, fully experiential workshop is a chance for new and current youth workers to build their skills and expand their repertoire of games, activities, and responses to common youth issues. Each session will combine activities to take back home along with the underlying theory and pedagogy behind their effectiveness. We will explore explicitly issues of community building, child safety, working with challenging youth, group dynamics, and program development through games, activities, worship, and discussion. Whether you staff a Yearly Meeting program or work with your monthly meeting youth, this retreat will give you the tools, theory, and skills needed to run a safe, dynamic, and Spirit-nurturing youth program.
Register online or via phone at (800) 742-3150, ext. 3 (US only) or (610) 566-4507, ext. 3 (worldwide).
