On Thursday, January 19, 2017 at 1:00 PM EST, the National Mentoring Partnership will host a 75-minute webinar entitled, "Nurturing Social-Emotional Growth in Young People."
A young person's success is determined by more than just academic prowess.
Many skills, including perseverance, emotional competence, and goal-setting, contribute to a young person's achievements in school, the workplace, and beyond.
Join Celeste Janssen, Director of the Institute for Youth Success at Education Northwest, as she discusses how relationships can cultivate social-emotional growth and different frameworks to better understand this concept.
Expert panelists from national mentoring organizations will also discuss practical strategies and activities that encourage skill-building in young people.
Panelists include:
- Diane Wallace Booker, Executive Director of U.S. Dream Academy, Inc.
- Kathy Brennan, Research and Evaluation Advisor at AARP Foundation Experience Corps
- Libra Riley, Education Strategy Advisor at AARP Foundation Experience Corps
This webinar is part of the Collaborative Mentoring Webinar Series, which is funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention through the National Mentoring Resource Center and facilitated in partnership with MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership.
