Youth Council Development Training
Shawn and I took 6 youth council members to Fertile, MN for Youth Council Development Training Saturday 6-7-08. The council members who attended were Adam, Asante, Marlo, May, Myrone, and Whitnei. The two hour ride (each way) gave us an opportunity to bond! I have to take my hat off to all of these youths. Getting up and out of the door by 7 AM on a Saturday!!! That is dedication to the movement!
We had a wonderful time meeting the Fertile Youth Council and working with Deborah the trainer. The discussion was lively and inspired. All of us left with ideas and motivation to be the change we want to see! The individual leadership traits that we have to bring to this council is astounding! We have decided that together we can definitely accomplish our goals.
Next step. Some strategic planning and community mapping! If you are in the presence of one of the council members who attended this session, please ask them about it. You will be in awe of the intelligence and thoughtfulness they will express. Stay tuned!
We would appreciate your joining us if you have the opportunity - next scheduled activity is June 13 Pickup for Pledges. We will meet at 4:15 under the gazebo in Central Park.
