Our Professional Development Services supports adults, organizations, government agencies and groups or systems ready to embrace community youth development.  Together we are able to identify meaningful ways to engage youth with conceptual tools, practice, research, and capacity building. This is HeartWood’s innovative edge, demonstrated by the increase in demand for HeartWood to work provincially serving the Youth Sector, which includes youth-focused government departments (municipal, provincial, and federal), youth serving and community-based organizations, and youth-led initiatives. HeartWood also offers consulting and research services to our adult audience.

Have you ever wondered how to maximize positive outcomes for youth in groups? Games, initiatives, and
activities are excellent ways to actively engage youth in positive group experiences. This workshop will build
a deeper understanding of effectively moving groups through the stages of group development by
facilitating fun, active and appropriate games and initiatives. This workshop will explore group development
theory and provide concrete activities that are exciting, active and challenging for young people. Participants will experience these activities first-hand and be provided with the strategies and knowledge of
when and how to use them. We will address how to consider the many issues youth face including physical,
mental and emotional challenges. A take-home activity resource will be provided.
