The Youth Cohort Challenge – What Does It Take to Effectively Engage and Retain Out-of-School Youth Throughout the Program Lifespan?
Description
This cohort launched to popular demand in November 2017. Its’ mission was to unpack out-of-school youth (OSY) engagement and retention, and develop solutions that the field will want. To achieve this goal, six sessions were held between February and May 2018, and the cohort teams shared their challenges. They also presented their own community models and partnered with representatives from other teams to work on common challenges in serving youth. Teams examined and developed resources in the following areas: Empowering Youth as Active Participants; Using Technology in Innovative Ways through Programming; and Recruitment, Marketing, and Outreach Strategies.
Join this webinar and hear about the cohort. Learn what they developed, and how your program can benefit from the cohort’s work.
