Coaching & Training
15 years of learning alongside teens has taught us a lot. We love sharing every bit of it. Whether you're replicating a full PATCH program, building your own youth engagement approach, or simply looking to do better work with teens, we're here to help.
Because when more adults know how to authentically engage young people, more teens get to be heard. And that's the whole point.
PATCH Coaching
Program Replication Coaching For organizations replicating the PATCH Teen Educator Program, ongoing coaching is built into the replication agreement. Your PATCH Coach supports every aspect of your program — from hiring your first team of teens to navigating your toughest implementation challenges.
Customized Coaching & Support Not ready for full replication? No problem. PATCH offers coaching and technical assistance for organizations looking to build or strengthen their own youth engagement efforts. Whether you need help designing a program, training your staff, or thinking through how to authentically include youth voice in your work, we've got you.
Training & Presentations
PATCH leaders love sharing what we've learned. And we almost always bring youth along to make sure their voices stay front and center! We get most excited to offer training and presentations on topics such as:
-
Authentic youth engagement and youth-adult partnerships
-
Meaningful youth voice in program and policy design
-
Positive youth development frameworks
-
Engaging youth in adolescent health change work
-
Health equity and inclusion in youth programs
-
