Youth Empowerment Seminars

What are the Youth Empowerment Seminars?

The Youth Empowerment Seminars are groups of workshops that combine together to create a theme.

Each theme contains six seminars which can be individually selected or grouped together to create a program your youth will find engaging.

These seminars provide professional instruction to youth leaders and achievers who want to build their skills and talents so they can excel at their next stage of professional development.

Each seminar can be taught as a 60-minute, 90-minute or 2-hour class.

Maximum Scheduling Flexibility

To give their students an advantage, they schedule four items from our Preparing for College program:

Before the Trip

Strengthening Your Identity
Public Speaking with Confidence

After the Trip

After the Trip Wrap-Up

They decide presenting the workshops after school would be the best way to keep the students engaged.

They schedule three 60-minute trainings on the Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday before the trip to prepare the students and the “After the Trip Wrap-Up” on the Thursday after they return.
