Why a Teen training?

For many years, VisionWorks International has been doing trainings in various formats for young people. Teen Programs are designed to enhance self worth and personal responsibility. In trainings students engage in activities that reinforce cooperation, respect, accountability, leadership and parent-youth relationship skills. In the safety of a training room, teens confront major issues facing young people in today’s world, and they come to workable solutions. We, the Teen Staff, are committed to supporting them in creating positive results in their lives. By answering the issues and needs of the young we can solve today’s problems and build a better tomorrow.

Participants complete the program with improved ability to take constructive risks by learning to ask more of themselves as they overcome limiting attitudes. By learning to work together, teens gain deeper understanding of the joys of cooperation and the value of sharing common goals. Through a context of accountability, participants experience the joy of being responsible for their own well being while promoting the well being of others.

We are eager to support young people in discovering their personal worth as they contribute their gifts and talents to the community and to the world. We appreciate the uniqueness of each individual and support individual choices that serve the highest good. Dealing effectively with peer pressure and resisting coercion are among the gains achieved by our youth. Instead of creating an atmosphere of “Do it OUR way!” or “There’s only ONE way!” the Teen Staff encourages creativity, self-confidence, individuality and group problem solving.

VisionWorks offers a unique setting of physical and strategic challenges where people can become more self-aware. Both in the classroom and on the Ropes Course young people explore their fears and confront their limitations. Experienced personnel trained in safety and interactive facilitation staff the outdoor experience. Trainers with more than twenty years of experience in the field facilitate classroom sessions and supervise all Teen Programs.
Teens are invited to come to the training with a willingness to participate at 100%. Individuals are urged to go one step more than they thought they could go by taking responsible risks. Teens are also are encouraged to see each other in a new, inclusive light that transcends clique environments, and from there they can support each other past self-limiting fears and doubts. Students come away from the program with the realization that through accountability and conscious choices, they can make a difference in peer groups and family relationships, to have a positive influence on their own lives and the lives around them.

Invariably, participants feel the personal accomplishment that can be attained by working cooperatively with others. Participants also report being more honest by feeling attuned to truth. This alignment allows the individual to be singular yet cooperative; unique yet harmonious; uncommon, while joyfully sharing common ground.

VisionWorks International is an organization whose principle members have forty years combined experience in conducting personal effectiveness and communications seminars in the private and corporate sectors. The facilitators who conduct the seminars have worked in the national and international arena; they bring a variety of professional backgrounds to their work.
