The Responsive Teen Advisory Council
Now that you have a
Teen Advisory Council at your program, what’s the next step? This
activity-filled training provides the answer by introducing a strong SEL-based
framework and routines that can help council members build valuable
communication and social-emotional learning skills while cultivating positive,
meaningful relationships with their peers and with adults. The end result will
be more focused, connected, fun, and effective council meetings!
Please note: Only afterschool practitioners working with middle school youth
should register for this training. Completion of “Teen Advisory Councils (Part
