Walking in Purpose- Part 1 

Raising the Cultural Vibration in OST- Part 2 

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? When we know our purpose and values, we can create a culture in our afterschool programs of high expectations and positive community, that will support youth to be their best selves.  

In this training series 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. Participants will engage in activities to practice techniques that build a positive environment for youth by modeling how to follow their purpose and values.
