Before completing the form, please consider:
• This conference targets youth workers in out-of-school time and summer settings. This includes front line staff, program managers, executive directors, mentors, etc.
• APOST is looking for depth of experience and expertise, rather than breadth.
We strongly encourage workshops focused on the following themes:
- Social Emotional Learning
- Community Trauma, Trauma-Informed Care
- Health and Wellness in OST
- Creating Inclusive Spaces in OST
- Innovative Practices for Youth Workers
Since we are all feeling the effects of the current COVID-19 pandemic, we'd also like topics on how to best deal with all of those effects to still be able to offer programming for the kids and parents who need it.
We strongly encourage workshops focused on these themes, as well as those above:
- Engaging Children and Parents during COVID-19
- How to Speak to Youth about COVID-19
- Ways to Successfully Implement Virtual Programming
• Workshop size will most likely not be capped because this is virtual, but facilitation preference will be left up to the presenters.
• A PQAS number or prior approval is not required.
