Community of Practice for Youth Development Practitioners
The Youth Development Community of Practice (YD CoP) of the Collaboration Council coordinates the training and education for youth development practitioners working in youth-serving fields such as workforce development, mentoring, and recreation. The practitioners we serve are those professionals working in out of school time programs, with disconnected youth, with homeless youth and with court-involved youth in Montgomery County.
This open solicitation for letters of interest seeks to identify qualified trainers to deliver live or developed
webinars or workshops to the YD CoP. The content and activities of each webinar must include principles
and practices that supports/aligns with youth development philosophy, social-emotional learning, and
cultural linguistics. Facilitators are encouraged to submit webinar topics and agendas relevant to youth
development practitioners and communities/organizations supporting youth & their families, specifically
webinars that increase attendees’ understanding of:
• Providing supportive programming and opportunities to address the unique needs of Black girls
• Promising practices to support youth experiencing homelessness and disconnection from supports
and opportunities, especially youth in newly settled communities in Montgomery County (Afghan
and Latin American youth and communities)
• Program strategies that support youth and communities coping with accumulated traumas including
pandemic-related traumas
• Engaging and supporting the development of youth leaders and youth as advocates for their own
needs
All approved webinars will be recorded and archived on Youthdevelopmentnow.org for future use by
practitioners in Montgomery County. Qualified trainers may submit multiple proposals for separate topics,
or submit a proposal for multiple session trainings.
