Relationships are developmental when they help young people discover who they are, develop abilities to shape their own lives, and learn how to engage with and contribute to the world around them. A Spark is the hidden flame inside every young person that taps into their true passions, talents, skills, and dreams.
 
This workshop helps you be intentional and strategic in strengthening relationships in schools, youth-serving programs, and agencies while tapping into Search Institute’s research on Sparks as a gateway to relationship-building with young people.
 
Participants will:
  • Become familiar with Search Institute’s research on Developmental Relationships and Sparks within the context of thriving
  • Examine the place of relationships in the lives of youth and the power of both approaches for deepening relationships between youth and adults
  • Explore Sparks as a tool for building developmental relationships
  • Consider practical applications of both approaches and identify one simple action idea for applying the research in your work with youth
  • Explore the five essential actions that contribute to making a relationship transformative for youth
The workshop is designed for staff and leadership from youth-serving programs, school educators and administrators, social workers, mentoring program staff and leadership, and volunteers.
The presenter will be James J. Conway, a veteran trainer and speaker with more than 25 years’ experience in providing training and consultation to youth-serving professionals and volunteers in educational and community-based organizations in the U.S. and abroad.
