YDI Coaching Hours

SYEP Summer 2025, we are hosting informative (and fun) coaching hour sessions. Every Wednesday we will, look at the current week's work, discuss the artifacts that young people and the staff are collecting to bring the work to life, and finally, look at the week ahead and what we should be preparing our young people and our staff to do. Get answers to your questions, receive assistance on issues you and your young people may be having, and share best practices to make SYEP a success!
