Social Capital for Youth

In this 1-hour training, designed for middle and high school students, we introduce young people to the concept of social capital and networking. We will explore different types of social support, practice asking for support when needed, and help students to understand how to maintain their social support networks. This training includes a relationship mapping activity where students will reflect on what their social network currently looks like and examine ways they can grow and expand their network. In the end, we hope young people walk away more confident in who they are, more focused on what they want to achieve, and more skilled at seeking the right support.
