Both classes can be completed mostly at your own pace, but you'll still have interactive sessions with the experts who developed the classes and your youth development colleagues from all over Minnesota and other parts of the country. Sign up today!

Dilemmas in Youth Work Online - Frontline youth workers dig into the challenges of youth work and examine various ways to respond to real-life dilemmas of everyday practice.

Leadership Matters Online - Supervisors and managers explore the key issues in supervision and leadership in youth work organizations.
