Connecting with Community and Families in Support of Youth

Community Awareness and Collaboration

Ask yourself, how am I connecting with community partners and families while libraries are closed and social distancing is enforced?  Your answer might be, “I’m not” or “Our connections are very limited.”  In this webinar you’ll explore how to build and maintain relationships with community members, organizations, stakeholders, and families during COVID-19 and build ideas for keeping those relationships strong when library services are re-launched in your community.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify community members and organizations for youth-based service planning and implementation
• Develop strategies for connecting with partners and families
• Explain why it's valuable for library staff working with youth to build experiences that connect families and communities
