The Treu-Mart Youth Development Fellowship Program provides support and professional development for those who work with youth during non-school hours.

Treu-Mart Fellows are professionals who:

• See the strengths and gifts in youth
• Commit themselves to providing youth the support they need to thrive
• Work with middle-school-aged youth during out-of-school-time in the Greater Cleveland area
• Seek to continually learn and develop their own skills and talents

Participants in the Fellowship are provided with the following benefits:

• Quality professional development based on concepts of resiliency
• Services of a coach who is an experienced youth professional
• Participation in Fellow directed problem-solving sessions
• A network of support from other professionals engaged in similar work

The Fellowship was designed to build upon the strengths and gifts of the Fellows. Fellowship staff is committed to provide youth professionals with the support that they need to succeed.

Cohort 2

Participating in this Fellowship program has allowed me to explore my own resiliency and realize how beneficial my personal experiences are in the work that I do with youth. The level of support I receive from the other participants is key to my professional and personal growth. I know the importance of focusing on the strengths that my students possess to enable them to overcome some of the obstacles that they face.
