Please Note: The course runs across two evenings, with each session lasting 1.5 hours.

Peaceful Pathways: Positive Youth Development Essentials is a dynamic, three-hour workshop designed for out-of-school time staff working with school-aged children.  This engaging session introduces the core principles of Positive Youth Development and the four PYD domains (Assets, Agency, Contribution, and Enabling Environment) while naming connections to the eight dimensions of youth well-being and current research in the field.  

Participants will leave with concrete strategies for building strong relationships, facilitating skill-building activities, elevating youth voice, and partnering with families, schools and community agencies—practices that directly enhance program quality, consistency, and impact for young people. Participants build essential knowledge and skills, develop a common language for youth development practice, and strengthen program practices.
