Leadership

Current and former participants speaking on their Active Plus experience.

Active Plus Leadership Program empowers young people with the skills and tools they need to become effective leaders in their communities. Through a series of workshops and activities, we help participants develop their communication, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities, as well as their emotional intelligence and self-awareness. We cover a wide range of topics, including:

  • Goal-setting and time management

  • Public speaking and presentation skills

  • Conflict resolution and mediation

  • Team-building and collaboration

  • Civic engagement and advocacy

  • Diversity and inclusion

  • Networking and relationship-building

Our program is designed to be inclusive and accessible to all young people, regardless of their background or prior experience. We believe that every young person has the potential to be a leader, and we are committed to helping them unlock that potential and make a positive impact in their communities.

Active Plus Restorative Justice Leadership

Heal The Violence

Our Restorative Justice Program is dedicated to teaching positive leadership skills to youth in order to reduce acts of violence in our communities. Our team of expert educators will facilitate engaging activities that teach de-escalation techniques and other tools that can be used to prevent violence. Our program utilizes a range of effective activities that empower youth to take control of their interactions and prevent violence before it starts. Join us in building a safer and more peaceful community.

  • It is important that participants recognize the value in others. Healing circles give participants a safe space to grieve, share common fears and loss, and ways to celebrate life.

  • Participants will come up with a list and create a map of people and places in the area that offer a safe harbor, mentoring, and job training. Youth will learn there are multiple places in the community where they can find people who want to help them.

  • CASEL training is a social emotional learning intervention program which teaches youth Self Awareness, Self Management, Social Awareness, Responsible Decision Making and Relationship Skills. Youth will learn about their own strengths and limitations with the intention that being more aware of themselves will lead to more prosocial behavior. We will engage in community building activities as a group and partner with other organizations or community groups to establish connections, feelings of belonging, and peer and adult support.

  • An idea for this topic would be to offer Restorative Conferences. Restorative Conferences are structured meetings between offenders and victims, sometimes including supporting parties. The meeting is a conversation that helps them identify the wrongdoing, who was affected, and how to repair the harm that was done.
