Let's Play Garticphone, Silly Fun for Teens!

Carly has been running inclusive and supportive social groups for kids for over 10 years.  With her Bachelor's of Child and Youth Care, with early childhood education specialization from the University of Victoria, she has years of experience coaching the anatomy of conversation and is constantly learning about humans.  Carly coaches all of instructors in the methodology of this class to provide consistency. 

Yvonne is a musician with a BMus from McGill University who has been leading social groups on Outschool with Carly since August 2022.  Linda is a talented art instructor and has been facilitating group learning for many years.  Amy has been running social groups on OS this year and has her Bachelor's of Child and Youth Care from the University of Victoria.   We believe in inclusive social groups were we get the chance to interact and learn more about each other.

We are cool with awkward moments and silence.  Growth happens in discomfort.  We leave space for connection.  We do make sure everyone gets a turn to speak, keep things safe, and as much as possible, we try to stay out of the way.   

This is a learner driven class.  They are getting to know new people.  We are curious about the subjects learners bring up in class that we don't know about, but we know enough to back off if the group is connecting over something that we've never heard of.  They aren't here for another adult perspective.   

We see their strengths.  Every person has value to offer and we are passionate about making an open space for learners to share and connect.   

We laugh at all the jokes 😉
