Honoring the Past, Building the Future: Centering Possibility in Youth Work

Virtual Facilitation for Youth Workers in IL

Guided by her research with youth workers across the United States, Dr. Bianca J. Baldridge will demonstrate how youth workers teach to transgress—pushing beyond the challenges within the youth development field to co-envision possibilities in their work alongside youth. Drawing connections among the past, the present, and the future, Dr. Baldridge will show how historical efforts in communal care and education for social change are present today and serve as a powerful blueprint for youth workers.
