Motivate Youth’s presentation, “Introduction to Motivational
Interviewing,” was recently named a Top 25 workshop by the National Afterschool
Association.
The achievement is notable, as this was Motivate Youth’s first
presentation at the NAA convention, which features hundreds of workshops and
thousands of attendees.
“The workshop was well received because the material is
solid,” said Aaron Romens, Executive Director of Motivate Youth. “Motivational interviewing is scientifically proven to be effective, and at the same time,
intuitive for youth workers, because it builds on the skills and values they
already possess.”
Motivate Youth provides training in motivational
interviewing for afterschool youth professionals. Through a network of
partnerships, Motivate Youth is often able to provide this training at a low
cost or free.
