Youth Involvement in Leadership and Decision-Making Roles Workshop
Youth Involvement in Leadership and Decision-Making Roles Workshop
Thursday, August 7th, 2008
in Wichita 1:00 – 5:00 p.m.
The Center for Community Support & Research at Wichita State University is pleased to offer a free workshop on Youth Involvement in Leadership and Decision-Making Roles. Research on capacity-building for youth-serving organizations indicates that youth, adults, and the organization benefit most when youth are involved in leadership and decision-making roles within the organization.
.
This workshop focuses on how to involve youth in meaningful ways that contribute to positive youth development and organizational development (it is not about how to serve more youth). Participants will learn about the varying levels of youth involvement in organizational leadership and decision-making, assess the level that is most appropriate for their organization, and explore special issues related to youth involvement. Participants will leave the workshop with an initial plan for purposeful involvement of youth in leadership and/or decision-making roles within their organization.
.
PARTICIPANTS ARE WELCOME TO BRING YOUTH FROM THEIR ORGANIZATION WHO ARE OR MAY BE IN LEADERSHIP/DECISION-MAKING ROLES.
.
This workshop is free and open to the public; however, space is limited. Please make your reservations by contacting Angela Gaughan at (800) 445-0116 or angela.gaughan@wichita.edu.
Specific location information and other details will be provided with RSVP confirmation.
