Whether you’re a first time facilitator or seasoned pro, YACshops are easy to use. Included in each manual are instructions on preparing for the workshop; a step by step guide to facilitating the workshop; and all of the handouts and overheads required in the workshop.
Included in the YACshop manual is an “appendix” full of icebreaker activities that can be used at any time during the workshop to keep participants active and interacting with each other.
Through small and large group discussions and interactive activities, participants will be given the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills required to become more successful youth volunteers. Each YACshop builds on the capacity of young people to network and participate in their own communities. This in turn helps them develop a stronger commitment to the community and improves both peer accountability and intergenerational relationships.
