by School's Out Washington | | Posted under
It may be short notice, but our friends in Tacoma shouldn’t miss these three free workshops, happening concurrently with the Early Acheivers Institute conference at the Tacoma Convention Center this Friday.
Youth Voice, 9 AM – 11 AM
Research shows that quality programs incorporate youth input at both activity and organizational levels. This workshop will emphasize the importance of offering real choices and meaningful participation to youth, and nurturing youth leadership.
For Youth, By Youth, 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM
In this workshop, we will introduce Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) and its importance in youth development work. YPAR is a growing field that offers us an opportunity to re-imagine what teaching, mentorship and learning can look like within and outside of schools.
Structural Racism, 2 PM – 5 PM
In this session we will explain structural racism, provide examples of and data on structural racism, and discuss implications for youth.
