Jordan Schellenberg is Still Made to Be a Youth Worker

“A dream will remain a dream unless there’s a plan around it.”
//
How do you make the shift from doing it all to leading the team?
What’s it really like to run an organization focused on an ever-changing demographic?
And what is the most important aspect to focus on as a leader?

The last time Jordan was on the show was all the way back on Episode 8. He was one of my first guests because I knew him as a friend and I knew he was stepping into a call bigger than himself. At that point, we talked about how Youth One moved from dream to reality, and the wild ride of finding the funds, location, and team necessary to launch a Youth Centre. Since then Youth One has only been growing. Now Jordan is learning how to lead a team, how to manage a vision for the future of an organization, and how to keep helping young people find a place of belonging.

You’re going to love this conversation if you are passionate about helping the next generation, or you are in a role you didn’t necessarily expect to be in a few years ago, or if you’re struggling with finding the main focus again for the dreams and goals you once saw so clearly.

Jordan is the President and Founding Partner of Youth One, a youth centre in Lethbridge, Alberta, dedicated to providing young people with places of belonging and support to become their best.

How do you make the shift from doing it all to leading the team?

What’s it really like to run an organization focused on an ever-changing demographic?

And what is the most important aspect to focus on as a leader?  

The last time Jordan was on the show was all the way back on Episode 8. He was one of my first guests because I knew him as a friend and I knew he was stepping into a call bigger than himself. At that point, we talked about how Youth One moved from dream to reality, and the wild ride of finding the funds, location, and team necessary to launch a Youth Centre. Since then Youth One has only been growing. Now Jordan is learning how to lead a team, how to manage a vision for the future of an organization, and how to keep helping young people find a place of belonging. 

Jordan stepped into this with an idea and a few people by his side. Now he’s seeing his dream shift and grow in ways he couldn’t even imagine when he began. He’s learning about self-learning, how his habits and passion transfers to his team, and how to work as a team leader. What I love most about this is the mission of the organization continues to be what drives Jordan forward to be better himself and build a better organization.
