THE UPLIFT MODEL
Explore your own personal power and get ready to uplift your peers while claiming your community. This virtual 360° interactive experience is custom built for youth and young adults and is unlike anything you have ever experienced before. This virtual event will motivate, empower, and support you to change the lives of those around you.
For more than ten years, Youth Era has passionately pursued the answers to the questions, “What skills help us improve relationships?” and “How can we create lasting change within ourselves and others?” Through years of training and development, we have narrowed down the fundamental tools and strategies to help peers overcome challenges and reach their full potential.
Uplift is packed with engaging lectures, challenging discussions, and impactful activities. You will take yourself to the next level and make a commitment to bettering yourself and those around you.
Peer support is a way of providing help to other people. It is unique because it utilizes your experiences to relate to those you are supporting. You might be thinking, “I do this all the time!” and you’d be right. In this training, you will learn how to master the art of peer support. We will teach you the skills, frameworks, and practices you need to understand the impact of your journey and how to reach out effectively when helping others.
