Course 1

Facilitator Foundations: Building Meaningful Youth Experiences

Four core frameworks every youth-program staff member should be using: Maslow's hierarchy, stages of group development, the What/So What/Now What reflection model, and the levels of program engagement.

You'll demonstrate: Maslow's hierarchy applied to youth programming, the stages of group development, the What/So What/Now What reflection methodology, and the levels of program engagement.
Course 2
$25 $100
Group Control & Crowd Management

Setting expectations, stopping the group when things spiral, reeling them back in, managing big emotions, narrating to reduce anxiety, building rapport through praising effort AND outcomes, and giving direct commands during high-chaos, high-anxiety, or injury situations.

You'll demonstrate: Setting and maintaining behavioral expectations, executing group stop-and-reset protocols, co-regulating big emotions, narrating transitions to reduce anxiety, balanced effort-and-outcome praise, and direct command facilitation during high-chaos and injury situations.
Course 3
$25 $100
Activity Design: The Build-Up Method

Break any activity into a sequence of low-pressure timeslots that build to the real thing — so every kid sees success early, the playing field levels out, and you can read whether the group is ready before stakes go up.

You'll demonstrate: The Build-Up Method of activity design: structuring an activity into skill-practice, low-stakes mini-game, and full-activity slots; reading the room between slots; and matching praise to each stage of the build-up.
