Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I request Sari Al-Sabatin's field guides?
Requesting a guide starts with a conversation with Sari to agree on how it will be used. This typically works in one of two ways: Sari delivers the guide directly to your organization and trains your team to embed it into daily practice, or he trains a designated trainer who then cascades the training to the rest of the team.
What language are the publications available in?
The guides are currently available in Arabic only.
Why is the Leadership & Community Empowerment Guide important, and how does it serve youth?
The guide equips emerging leaders, many of them young people stepping into their first leadership roles, with structured tools for decision-making, community organizing, and driving change in their own contexts. Rather than staying theoretical, it translates leadership development into practical frameworks youth can apply directly in schools, community organizations, and early-career roles.
Why is the Youth Spaces & Youth-Centered Environments Guide important?
This guide distills 7 years of hands-on experience managing youth-centered spaces, translating that field experience into a practical framework other practitioners can apply. It focuses on how well-designed youth spaces build community: creating environments where young people gain ownership, develop civic skills, and drive local initiatives that strengthen their communities.
Who are these publications written for?
They are written for practitioners, trainers, and program managers designing leadership development and youth-centered initiatives.
