June 2010 Archives

Starting this summer, you will be able to join free webinars on the Youth Work Institute's signature programs before you commit to registering. We will be hosting a Question & Answer Webinar for each of our signature programs, which include:


  • Culturally Responsive Youth Work Matters

  • Deliberate Practice in Youth Work Matters

  • Evaluation Matters

  • Intentional Program Design Matters

  • Leadership Matters

  • Quality Matters

  • Youth Engagement Matters

  • Youth Work Matters

  • The webinars will give you a chance to learn more about these signature offerings and to ask specific questions to find out if a program is the right fit for you, your staff, or your organization.

    We will host 1-hour webinars once a month on one of the signature "Matters" programs.

    Ning will be phasing out all free networks in July, which affects the Youth Work Institute and all of its Ning members. We will not be continuing with Ning's services at this time. We are currently working on getting a social networking plan in place and will notify you once we are present in the social networking scene once again. Thank you for understanding.
