Youth Leadership Development Facilitator
hace 3 semanas
Project Description Panama is commonly referred to as “puente del mundo, corazón del universo” (bridge of the world, heart of the universe). It is also a land of mixed realities. Its strategic geographic location influenced the construction of the canal, which accelerated immigration and contributed to Panama’s diverse population. Panama is known as an international logistics, banking, and tourism hub.
For this and other reasons, the isthmus holds distinct social and economic realities which impact structural inequalities. After the COVID-19 pandemic, Panamanian youth are facing heightened socio-economic instability, few professional and personal development opportunities, and low civic and educational engagement. To ensure lasting change, Panamanian institutions, local organizations, and civil society are putting special emphasis on supporting youth development initiatives.Youth Leadership Development (YLD) Facilitators collaborate with the Ministry of Education (MEDUCA) in secondary schools to support counselors, psychologists, social workers, teachers, and students with initiatives relevant to the project framework. Through collaborating with a Panamanian community member, Volunteers will take part in a mutually beneficial capacity-building experience and ensure that all activities comply with community interests, desires, and beliefs.
During their first three months in the community, Volunteers learn about the Panamanian education system, the culture of the school, youth priorities, and opportunities to implement and strengthen positive youth development programs. In collaboration with local professionals and community leaders, Volunteers will perform a participatory community analysis to assess school/community resources and, based on the findings, will create a plan for service. YLD Facilitators will support ongoing youth-oriented programs in schools and the community, bringing new ideas, approaches and/or techniques to those spaces while incorporating youth and counterpart’s assets to ensure relevance and durability. An important component of the job will be promoting inclusion through considering the dynamics of gender and accessibility.
Youth Leadership Development Facilitators (local counterparts and Volunteers) co-plan and co-facilitate activities that address the following: positive self-concept, communication, conflict resolution, goal setting, leadership, employability skills, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for employment, and gender equity and inclusion.Below are activities that may be identified by the school and/or community as part of their priorities: - Co-plan and co-facilitate youth clubs and camps that incorporate life skills development - Promote leadership and life skills among youth through co-planning and co-facilitating extra-curricular activities like organized sports groups, performing arts events, and other events
- Co-teach life and employability skills development curricula developed by the Ministry of Education with school counselors - Co-plan and co-facilitate youth participation in activities or events related to awareness days (i.e. World AIDS Day, International Youth Day, etc.)
- Co-plan and co-facilitate youth participation in a service-learning project as part of a school activity, club, or youth program - Co-plan and co-facilitate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for employment workshops for youth
- Mentor/coach youth on life skills and/or employability skills
- Sharing information and feedback with youth service providers to promote positive youth development programs COVID-19 Volunteer Activities In the past year, the world has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a Volunteer, you will be trained in how to best protect yourself from COVID-19 exposure and understand the impact of and steps to reduce stigma related to COVID-19. You may also have the opportunity to engage with your community on implementing or enhancing COVID-19 mitigation activities, such as COVID-19 prevention and risk reduction strategies including social distancing, hand washing, mask wearing, addressing myths and misconceptions related to these practices, and vaccine hesitancy.
- 3 years’ of professional experience working with youth and/or families, preferably from under-resourced communities. Experience working with children/youth in formal/non-formal educational settings (camps, clubs, extra-curricular activities, service-learning projects, etc.) - Experience teaching, coaching, or mentoring adults and youth in formal and informal settings
These critical skills will help create a foundation for the ability to serve as a Volunteer in Panama. The technical knowledge and skills that you arrive with and/or gain during your training will not be effective if you do not have the necessary communication and intercultural skills. You will be assigned to a Language and Culture Facilitator (LCF) who will facilitate the resources and opportunities you need
