Backpack for Parents Webinar | Developing Young Leaders

Join Linsey Crowninshield-Ryan, coordinator for CTD's Civic Education Project, on Tuesday, October 18 at 7 p.m. (Central) for a discussion about Developing Young Leaders.

Young people are growing physically, emotionally, and cognitively, and with that growth comes different opportunities for them to develop as a leader. This webinar will address how to encourage, support, and challenge young people in their journey to lead.

The conversation will focus on supporting youth grades 4-12, and is open to anyone who interacts with young people - tools for parents, educators, and youth development professionals will be shared.

The discussion will focus on:

• Ways to help young people identify their leadership strengths and style
• Resources for encouraging and challenging young people in their leadership development
• Ways to help young leaders work through the challenges and opportunities they are facing in current times

Interactive dialogue will be encouraged; please submit questions or areas of interest in advance.

This webinar is for CTD Backpack for Parents community members. Registration details are posted online in the community space. If you want to know more about how to join CTD Backpack for Parents, please email us at ctd-admissions@northwestern.edu.
