ROPE®
Community Training
An Introduction to Rite of Passage Experience© for Adults
The Center offers a unique one-day ROPE®
Community Training workshop designed to introduce any adult
who works with children – from parents to youth workers to
community development leaders – to the Rite of Passage Experience©
as a tool for guiding children through adolescence to becoming responsible
adults.
This training is designed to introduce participants
to the philosophy and effectiveness of the Rite of Passage Experience®
initiative, as well as:
- Explore the power of contemporary rites of passage
- Learn about the historical roots of rites of passage
- Understand the concept and importance of “ a psychological
sense of community”
- Educate themselves about the power of strength-based youth
development approaches
- Experience a modern rite of passage first-hand
- Identify the key ingredients necessary for successful implementation
of the ROPE® initiative within their schools and community
- Understand how rites of passage are a pathway for the spiritual
development of children and youth
This one-day workshop is based on The Center’s
signature Rite of Passage Experience© initiative -- a
school and community-based process designed to guide children in
grades 6-12 through adolescence and into adulthood. You will find
a complete description of that initiative in the Rite of Passage Experience© section of this website.
