Testimonials

Workshop participant, Melbourne

I learned a lot about methods to engage youths without condescending to them or delivering projects that they don't see as relevant ... the absolute need to involve the whole youth/person, thanks.

adult facilitator training

Urbanthinkers has been specializing in youth engagement since 1997, and the resulting tools and experience are available for your community. We offer three types of training sessions which can easily be adapted for your community:

  1. Youth Engagement 101 - a seminar for decision-makers and supervisors who are making the decision to expand active transportation solutions with older students. 
  2. Adult Facilitator Training - a hands-on training workshop whose specific topics and examples are based on participants' responses to a pre-workshop questionnaire.
  3. Youth Leader Start-Up workshop - co-facilitated by Urbanthinkers along with a local adult facilitator.

If you wish to incorporate more youth engagement into your job description -whether you are just beginning to work with middle and secondary schools, or if you are looking for ways to add value and results to existing programs we can help.

Please see our Guide to child & youth engagement (1.8Mb) - (pictured on the right) recently completed for Green Communities Canada.

Contact us to find out how we can help you engage student leaders within your community.
