6. Bringing the toolkit to life
Hey! If you're on this page, your commitment to help your organisation respond to challenges, grow, adapt and improve is all we have hoped for! Now it’s time to actually print or save all the session outlines and start thinking about how to bring them to life and which ones would your organisation benefit the most from.
How to bring these sessions to your organisation
This toolkit has been designed so that you can facilitate the sessions yourself. Each session includes background information, facilitator notes, and step-by-step guidance to help you adapt the activities to your organisation's context.
If the topics covered in this toolkit resonate with your organisation but you don't have the time, expertise, or capacity to facilitate them yourself, you can work with the Youth Forum's Pool of Trainers (PoT). Our trainers can deliver and tailor the sessions to your organisation's needs, ensuring they are interactive, relevant, and adapted to your reality.
Are you from a member organisation?
If you're from a member organisation and budget is a concern, don't let that stop you from getting in touch. Contact membership@youthforum.org and we'd be happy to explore together how we can make the training possible!

Survival toolkit
Welcome to the survival toolkit! This toolkit brings together selected insights, tools, and exercises intended to help you better understand your volunteers and what motivates them, address challenges such as burnout, support collaboration even when discussions are difficult, reflect on your organisation’s resilience and use tools such as Theory of Change to stay true to your organisation, guide your work and achieve impact in the forever changing world.
