SUMMARY:Creating Healing-Centered Summer Programs
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, May 5\, 2:00 p.m. (ET)/ 11:00 a.m. (PT)\nPresenter: Megan Bartlett\, Founder\, We Coach \nThe events of the last year- the immediate and long-term impact of a global pandemic as well as the renewed reckoning around our country’s dark history of racial injustice- only add to the host of overwhelmingly stressful circumstances many young people regularly face. The epidemic of trauma threatens both the physical and mental health outcomes of youth. Summer programs offer a necessary vehicle through which to address this urgent need. \nIn order to help summer programs amplify their impact\, We Coach will provide a training to help youth development professionals\, camp counselors\, and coaches understand the impact of overwhelming stress\, or trauma\, on young people and equips them with skills to take action to support these young people. Their interactive training provides a foundation in trauma-informed practice and provides concrete strategies that adults can use immediately. The training explores three core ways that programs can maximize their healing potential: through the power of relationships\, by encouraging physical activity\, and creating manageable\, resilience-building patterns of stress.

SUMMARY:Saving Summer Jobs: How Can Summer Youth Employment Programs Improve Youth Outcomes during COVID-19?
DESCRIPTION:Last summer\, Boston invested an additional $4.1 million in the city’s summer jobs program to develop four new alternative tracks to not only ensure youth would be engaged during the summer but would also have the potential to develop their skills while earning the wages that their families depend on. Join American Youth Policy Forum in an interactive webinar to learn how city and state governments facing both steep budget shortfalls and large logistical hurdles can learn from the Boston experience and mount effective summer job programs this year. Participants will also hear directly from youth who will share their insight about the impact of participation in Boston’s summer youth employment program.

SUMMARY:Ten Big Bets: Transforming Education During the Pandemic and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, March 10\, 1:00 p.m. (ET)/ 10:00 a.m. (PT)\nPresenter: Dr. Gil Noam \nThe global pandemic has thrown our schools and OST programs into disarray. Teachers\, parents\, and children alike face uncertainty\, while distance learning strains the human connections that make school meaningful. \nIn his new book\, Ten Big Bets: Transforming Education During the Pandemic and Beyond\, Dr. Gil Noam\, a Harvard psychologist\, researcher\, and educator\, shows that times of upheaval demand fundamental positive change. Rather than providing a technical manual or rigid prescriptions\, Noam introduces ten core ideas for teachers\, administrators\, OST providers\, and families to embrace both in the harrowing time of COVID-19 and in the years of reconstruction and transformation that will follow. Paying equal attention to the needs of children and the needs of educators\, he advocates for strong academic challenge rooted in productive relationships\, engaged learning\, and positive mental health. \nJoin us March 10 when Dr. Noam will discuss these core ideas of what’s important\, offering a clear path for all adults who dedicate themselves to children and youth so that each and every one learns and thrives. He will offer concrete\, evidence-based recommendations that can be implemented immediately and over time.

SUMMARY:Entrepreneur Education: Harness students’ talents and passions
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking to harness the summer of 2021 to help students develop their talents and passions while becoming reengaged in their education? Entrepreneur education can help students strengthen their “entrepreneurial mindsets\,” identify skills and interests\, and explore ways in which students can apply their talents to solve problems in their lives and communities. Join this session to learn about entrepreneurial education as well as free k-12 resources and events that are flexible and can be facilitated in virtual or in-person environments\, and also support other program goals such as social-emotional learning\, career readiness\, STEM\, and service learning. \nEntrepreneurship is more than starting a business\, it’s a way of thinking and acting. It’s a mindset and set of skills. Mindsets such as creativity\, opportunity seeking\, adaptability\, persistence\, and optimism help students reframe problems as opportunities and feel empowered to exert agency in their own lives. These same entrepreneurial mindsets and skills are critical to student success\, both in and out of the classroom. They are also high-demand\, employability skills in today’s workforce. Through entrepreneurship programming\, engage your local civic\, business\, and elected leaders to participate as mentors\, guest speakers\, and pitch challenge judges and watch them become champions for your youth and your programs.
