Mentor Training

The At-Risk Facilitator Training workshop is specifically designed to equip individuals with the fundamental tools to effectively instruct (but not limited -to), marginalized youth in urban communities. This interactive workshop is a beneficial tool to enhance the knowledge base and skill-set of all individuals who work with youth. This includes youth groups leaders, program coordinators, program directors, and the like. At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Identify the characteristics and challenges of at-risk youth
• Apply training techniques to conduct effective at-risk youth group discussions
• Design engaging lesson plans utilizing the five-essential building block formula
• Successfully connect and interact with at-risk learners while creating a safe environment
• Implement behavior remediation strategies to maintain control in a group setting

The purpose of this facilitator guide is to provide you an interactive tool to enhance your learning experience during the workshop. It will serve as a compass throughout the workshop to help efficiently guide you through each interactive lesson. You will find a copy of a blank workshop evaluation in the “Additional Information” section of this booklet. We kindly request that you complete the workshop evaluation, and submit it to the facilitator at the conclusion of the event. Our goal is to continue to improve the learner experience while providing relevant information in a fun environment. Thank you for your time today, and we hope you learn valuable tools to help further your personal and professional development.
