Different from lesson or event planning, program planning takes a big-picture look at the youth needs and assets of a community to make decisions about how a youth program can address those needs.

Who should attend

Intended audience is anyone who plays a role in creating the long-term vision and goals of a youth-serving organization. This could include managers, directors, and direct service-providers.

You will

  • Gain a strategy and tools for designing three types of goals.
    • A programmatic goal that describes the impact you want to make on youth.
    • A growth goal that describes how you want to continue expanding your youth program beyond current audiences.
    • A retention goal that addresses your current audience's needs in order to ensure the greatest impact.

Available by contract

  • $750 for 3 hours or less
  • $1500 for 4-6 hours
