Roles and Responsibilities

To ensure the effective delivery of the Provincial Youth Development Program, it is important to define the specific roles and responsibilities of all involved. This section presents the key duties of facilitators, organizers, and stakeholders to promote coordination, accountability, and program success.

Facilitator

Role: Lead the session and create a positive learning experience.

To effectively do this, the facilitator should:

·       Establish ground rules at the beginning to promote respect and inclusivity.

·       Prepare a session plan with clear objectives and time allocations.

·       Use interactive strategies (e.g., open-ended questions, group sharing) to encourage participation.

·       Stay neutral and fair, giving everyone a chance to speak.

·       Monitor the group's energy, and adjust pace or activities as needed.

Co-facilitator (if applicable)

Role: Assist the facilitator and ensure participants get support.

To effectively do this, the co-facilitator should:

·       Review the session plan ahead of time with the facilitator.

·       Help distribute materials and manage smaller groups during breakout activities.

·       Observe participants and offer help to those who seem lost or disengaged.

·       Take note of any issues and discreetly inform the facilitator if needed.

Program Support Staff

Role: Ensure smooth operations and proper documentation.

To effectively do this, program support staff should:

·       Prepare the venue/equipment ahead of time (e.g., set up projector, arrange chairs).

·       Test all technical tools (sound system, laptops, internet) before the session.

·       Keep attendance sheets and take photos (if applicable) for documentation.

·       Arrange refreshments and organize materials for easy access.

·      Stay attentive throughout the session for any logistical issues that need fixing.
