The Stepping Stones Package:
Want to catalyze youth leadership and intergenerational partnerships in your organization or community? Ready to tap into the power of youth-led research, planning and evaluation? Need support?
The Stepping Stones Package provides youth and adults with intensive Youth REP training, coaching, and program development support. We call it the “Stepping Stones” process because our training is organized around key phases - or Stepping Stones - of the Youth REP project (Check out Youth REP Step By Step for a detailed description of the Stepping Stones). At each step we draw on over ten years of experience to help both the youth and the adults involved develop the skills and strategies they need to finish their project and sustain the process.
Through the Stepping Stones process, youth teams hone project goals, develop strategic relationships, design and use data collection instruments, analyze data, report on their findings and recommendations, and lead follow-up action and organizing projects. Host organization staff learn to facilitate Youth REP through training, coaching, and curriculum materials. Executive leaders gains knowledge of what it will take to sustain Youth REP, and powerful information to support program planning and fundraising. Our training and support are customized to match the needs, interests and resources of collaborating organizations and youth leadership teams.
