Walking in Purpose
(Online Zoom)
Do
you know what your purpose is in the out-of-school time space? Would you like
to be more comfortable trying new things and finding your vision for life? The
Walking in Purpose training facilitates OST staff through activities,
discussion and exercises that help them define purpose as it relates to their
life and the out-of-school time program space.
Participants
will discuss the importance of understanding where they come from in terms of
culture and values. Participants will discover where they are going in terms of
direction and vision through guided exercises that examine destiny and
attitude. By the end of the training, participants will use this newfound
knowledge to make a plan to help youth discover and follow their purpose.
