The Art of Facilitating With Boys & Young Men

This hands-on session teaches participants the practical skills needed to successfully engage boys in programming and conversations. Participants will explore three core facilitation principles: using effective entry points to get boys in the door and into conversations, taking a strengths-based approach that builds on their existing capacities, and using relational pedagogy to create the trusted connections through which meaningful learning happens. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to design programming that answers boys’ fundamental question: “What’s in it for me?”

WHERE IT WORKS

The Art of Facilitating With Boys & Young Men was designed for educators across school, camp, sports, and nonprofit settings. Wherever you work directly with young men, the facilitation dynamics it addresses are the same—and the skills it builds transfer across every context.
