Youth Program Development & Implementation
I offer free consultations
jacqueline.vickery@gmail.com
Youth programs developed through Mindful Media translate the program’s core modules into hands-on, developmentally grounded learning experiences.
Programming is always adapted to age, setting, and community context, but often includes combinations of the following:
-
Storytelling and creative expression projects
-
Media literacy and platform awareness activities
-
Digital safety and well-being conversations
-
Digital citizenship and civic participation
-
Relationships, communication, and peer culture
-
Youth culture, humor, and meaning-making
Programs emphasize experiential, hands-on learning that invites young people to create, reflect, and engage together through discussion and collaboration.
The goal is not just skill-building, but helping youth make sense of digital life in ways that support agency, connection, and well-being.
Collaborative, Context-Responsive Program Design
Programs are developed in partnership with organizations to reflect local goals, capacity, and community context. Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all models, this work emphasizes flexibility, relevance, and sustainability.
Support may range from targeted consultation to full program design, implementation support, and evaluation, depending on organizational needs and readiness. Across all engagements, the focus is on building programs that are responsive to real-world conditions and supportive of long-term growth.
Program Services May Include:
-
Youth program and curriculum design grounded in Positive Youth Development and critical media literacy
-
Program implementation support, including facilitation, staff guidance, and iterative refinement
-
Community collaboration and partnership development
-
Logic models and program frameworks aligned with organizational goals and community priorities
-
Formative and summative evaluation to support learning, accountability, and improvement
-
Funding and sustainability support, including grant writing, proposal development, and alignment with funder or earmarked funding priorities
-
Workshop and learning experience design for youth, caregivers, and staff
Programs are adapted for diverse settings, using flexible, sliding-scale service models to meet varying organizational needs and capacity.
