Workshops for Youth

Our youth workshops provide opportunities for young people to draw out their own knowledge and to supplement this knowledge with honest information, enabling them to make their own choices. These workshops also engage young people in role plays and other dynamic activities, so that they leave the workshops not just with textbook knowledge, but with the experience of acting on that knowledge.

90 minutes. We prefer to do a series of at least 3 workshops with the same group of youth. With enough notice, we can combine workshops and make adjustments to fit your program's needs.

Where are they located?
We come to you! We are based in San Francisco, but we'll do workshops anywhere in the Bay Area with sufficient notice.
