Brief Program Description

Working with at-risk youth can be challenging, frustrating, and very disappointing to professionals who are working outside of their "sweet spot." Many professionals fall victim to a belief that "having a heart" for the at-risk population is enough to create impact. This session is designed for professionals that are burned or burning out, searching for their "sweet spot" within the at-risk youth career field or ready to discover and leverage their skills and strengths for traditional or non-traditional opportunities.
