We are offering a 1-day training for adults in our Youth Driven Spaces approach in Lansing (March 14) and Saginaw (March 15). The cost is ONLY $5!

With a grant from MCACA’s New Leaders Council the Neutral Zone -- a nationally recognized arts and leadership space for teens located in Ann Arbor -- will offer a one-day introductory training in its Youth Driven Spaces (YDS) model in Lansing (March 14) and Saginaw (March 15).

YDS is designed to help agencies that serve older youth incorporate practices and strategies that use program, organization and governance roles as an opportunity to build youth proficiencies as well as increase their participation and engagement.

Neutral Zone designs its workshops to be active, engaging and focused on practical strategies and practices that can be directly applied to your work. As a result of the one-day training participants will:

· Understand the components of youth-adult partnerships (YAP) and how to support YAP

· Identify meaningful roles youth can play in programs and organizations

· Learn the components and stages of Neutral Zone’s Teen Advisory Council
