Learn to Empower Youth to Build a Bright Future

Event Description
RENEW is a youth-directed planning and support process designed to meet the needs of youth ages 14–26 who may be experiencing emotional or behavioral challenges, have a limited social support system, and need to figure out where they are headed.
A trained facilitator meets with the youth to visually map out their strengths, interests, dreams, and people in their life. They use this information to set specific goals and invite supportive people to meetings where they work on achieving those goals.
Through group activities and instruction, participants in this three-day training learn to engage youth, facilitate personal futures planning, develop individualized teams and resources, conduct school-to career planning, and empower youth to lead the process.
Who Should Attend
RENEW facilitators can be school or residential treatment staff, mental health or health care providers, social workers, youth and family counselors, or others who support youth ages 14–26. However, training RENEW facilitators is just one piece of effectively delivering RENEW to youth. Successful sites establish a system team to manage referrals, analyze data, and support facilitators. If you have questions about your organization's readiness, please email us. A RENEW Trainer and Coach can offer guidance and technical support at every phase of implementation.
