Valuable Education Workshops for Youth Leaders, Educators, Social Workers & Parents

Philanthropy

A primary function of the Masonic Youth Foundation is to support the Masonic youth groups in Pennsylvania, helping the young men and women grow in members, activities and leadership development. In 1998, the foundation partnered with Deborah McCoy of Educational Development Services, LLC, to offer a series of bullying training seminars for educators and school administrators. This program continues to thrive, providing invaluable training across the Commonwealth.

All courses are offered as webinars that anyone is welcome to register for and attend. Almost 17,000 participants attended the trainings in 2024. Educators receive Act 48 credit, and social workers earn Continuing Education Units. Some of the extremely timely topics include:

  • Understanding Teen Dating Violence
  • Complicated Lives of Teens Today
  • Sexting and Sextortion: The Impact on Youth
  • The Impact of Technology on Raising Children & Youth
  • Impact of Instagram
  • This is Your Brain on Social Media
