Professional Development Workshops to Help All Young People Thrive

Our professional learning experiences are designed for teachers, counselors, staff at youth programs, and anyone who works with young people. These focused virtual and in-person workshops are designed to educate and empower educators and leaders seeking to deepen their relationships with young people and advance equity. 

Many of our workshops are based on Search Institute’s Developmental Relationships and Developmental Assets® Framework, a research-driven understanding of the elements that help young people develop resilience in the face of adversity and embrace new opportunities and growth.

"For me, my biggest take away is to make sure I care for my students and to make sure that they know they are cared for. It allowed me to reevaluate myself and intentions with the work that I do."

Professional Learning Workshops for Your Organization’s Needs

Organizations and practitioners who want to build relationships that help young people thrive look to Search Institute for professional learning opportunities. Our research and practitioner-informed workshops are designed for districts, schools, youth-serving organizations, and community-based initiatives seeking to build professional and organizational capacities, promote positive youth development, and advance equity.

Our learning experiences reflect the most current findings on effective strategies to build and support relationships between youth and adults in many organizational settings. They create a common language across an organization, empower staff, and support everyone to embrace relationship building as the roots of resilience and thriving for all young people.

Anyone who works with youth — teachers, administrators, counselors, social workers, youth group leaders, mentors, clergy — can discover new skills, resources, tools, and knowledge in Search Institute’s highly engaging workshops.

"I feel like this framework may make doing equity work in my district more meaningful to staff who have been slower to come around to the importance of doing equity work with our families."
