Episode 74: Hands-on Learning - Thinking INSIDE the Box
Programming with youth during the pandemic required us to creatively think OUTSIDE the box and find solutions for how we continue to connect with youth through distance learning options. Now that we are returning to a more “normal” programming environment… how do we capture what we have learned and continue to use what works?
Samantha Lahman and Joe Rand share a program that was created as an in-person event, had to pivot due the pandemic and change to a program INSIDE a box that was delivered to the young person's home. They share ways youth programs can utilize this "in the box" idea as we return to in-person and hybrid programming.
