Working with Underserved Youth

This training is designed to prepare you for many aspects of your volunteer experience: supporting art instruction, working with young students, managing classroom behaviors, addressing challenging emotions, building meaningful relationships, and responding to cultural and/or trauma-related needs. The course is divided into 6 sections, so you can complete it in one sitting, or take it one module at a time.

In each module, you'll watch short videos to learn about a topic that's relevant to our work in the art classroom or to the community we serve.

You'll then complete a post-module questionnaire to check your understanding. (Your responses will be checked for completion, not for accuracy. If you're still feeling unsure about a topic or want to learn more, we'll be happy to talk with you about it!)

Instructions:

1. Click on the slides below to view each video. You can watch the videos on this page, or click the arrow that appears at the top-right of the slide to pop the video out into a new browser tab.

2. Once you've watched all the videos for a given module, click the "Module Questionnaire" button on the right. (This will open a Google Form.)

3. You will receive credit for completing the Volunteer Training once you submit all 6 post-module questionnaires.
