Let's kick things off with a check-in
This short video walks coaches and mentors through running a 10-minute youth wellness workshop from start to finish — starting with a simple check-in, moving through one core activity, and closing in a way that leaves young people feeling heard.
Before your first session
- Skim the Coach & Mentor Resource Center for foundational guidance on trust and safe spaces.
- Pick one Quick Guide topic that fits what your group needs that day.
- Keep the structure simple: a check-in, one activity, and a short close.
