The Youth Positive Mindset Workshop

Whether out-of-school, at home, during the school day or elsewhere, youth development sparks learning, drives empowerment, fuels education, and offers solutions to a range of challenges in our communities and the individual lives of young people. But before those sparks and drivers start up, an Youth Positive Mindset must be in place as a catalyst.

Introduction

A Youth Positive Mindset helps adults who work with young people create value by recognizing and acting on opportunities, making decisions with limited information, and remaining adaptable and resilient with children and youth in situations that are uncertain and complex.

There are three traits of Youth Positive Mindsets:

Youth Positive Mindsets are optimistic about young people and the events in their lives, see problems as opportunities, and acknowledge youth as parts of interdependent communities who are necessary, not a burden.
Youth Positive Mindsets are adaptable, embracing change and showing resilience by shifting when needed and changing to meet needs.
Youth Positive Mindsets are non-fragile, demonstrating love, intelligence and action in the lives of young people while constantly keeping the whole community at the center.
