Working community outreach can feel isolating as a youth peer.

This interactive training seeks to create a space for Youth Support Specialists to share what has worked for them, and what has gotten in the way, when building strong community partnerships. Participants will collectively define what impact means in the scope of community partnership, collectively identify the greatest barriers to engagement, and collectively brainstorm ways to break down the barriers they identified.

Participants will:

• Define what "impact" means in the context of community partnerships and identify three

  personal indicators of partnership success

• Analyze common barriers to community engagement and evaluate strategies to address

  them

• Apply collaborative techniques to co-develop solutions with community partners during

  facilitated group activities

• Assess their current communication style and develop personalized communication

  strategies that are both positive and direct when addressing challenges with partners
