The Architecture Foundation of Oregon (AFO) centers education and access for youth at the heart of our programming. We are excited to offer opportunities for design professionals, educators, youth organizers and more to receive training on trauma informed practices and social/emotional learning.

AFO believes that all adults working with youth have a responsibility to not create harm, to give youth space to express their true selves, to look to them as experts, and to center them in our teaching and learning. AFO understands that these are skills that require ongoing learning and will help us be more empathetic and effective teachers, mentors and leaders.

Please join us for our third and final trauma-informed practices and social/emotional learning workshop of 2022. Facilitated by Dr. Renee Mitchell, an educator, writer, poet and expert on these topics, the workshops are intended to help prepare you and make you more comfortable working with youth from different backgrounds.

*This is the final workshop of a three part series to support ongoing learning. You will receive access to the recordings of the first two workshops upon registration. You do not need to have attended the first two workshops to participate. All are welcome.

PLEASE NOTE: All current 2022-2023 Architects in Schools participants have free access to this workshop. Please do not fill out this form if you are a current AFO volunteer or AiS teacher participant.
