This toolkit was developed by Hive Research Lab, an applied research partner of Hive NYC Learning Network.

HERE’S HOW THE CREATORS DESCRIBE THIS TOOLKIT:

Brokering Youth Pathways was created to share tools and techniques around the youth development practice of “brokering” or connecting youth to future learning opportunities and resources.

This toolkit shares ways in which various out-of-school educators and professionals have approached the challenge of brokering. We provide a framework, practice briefs and reports that focus on a particular issue or challenge and provide concrete examples, as well as illustrate how our partners worked through designing new brokering routines in partnership with our research team.

We invite you to use the toolkit to help develop insights for your organization, discover techniques you might try to help broker opportunities to youth, or inspire your own process of exploring how teens and learning opportunities get connected in your context.
