SUMMARY:Grant Writing 201
DESCRIPTION:Imagine a grant officer sitting in front of the stack of proposals she received today. How do you ensure that she forwards your proposal on for review?

Although there are no guarantees to securing grants\, there are many strategies you can use to distinguish yourself from other applicants. \nThree continuing education units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC).

SUMMARY:Scale Up Your SEL: Define It
DESCRIPTION:Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is an integral part of youth development\, but what does “SEL” truly mean within the unique context of your program? In this workshop\, “Scale Up Your SEL: Define It\,” we will move through the core components of social emotional learning and collaboratively develop a clear\, shared understanding tailored to your specific site’s needs and goals. Using established frameworks\, such as the widely recognized CASEL 5 competencies participants will reflect on their current program’s unique environment\, population\, and existing practices to identify how SEL is already present and where there are opportunities for growth. This session is designed for all youth development providers\, from frontline staff to program leaders. Come ready to share insights\, engage in collaborative problem-solving\, and lay the groundwork for a robust\, site-specific SEL framework that empowers both your staff and the youth you serve. \nLearning Objectives:\n* Articulate the five core competencies of social emotional learning using a common framework.\n* Identify specific examples of SEL skills as they currently appear in their daily program activities.\n* Develop a preliminary action plan for establishing a common language and understanding of SEL among all site staff and stakeholders. \nTrainer: Naomi Oster
