[OregonYAT] Fwd: [Aspireoregon] Activate Oregon Youth Summit 2010

[Damien J SANDS]

Hello Oregon youth and youth advocates,
 
Empower youth, build community, Activate Oregon!  We invite you to be a
part of Activate Oregon Youth Summit 2010:  Youth Voice, Youth Action.
 
>From March 28-March 30, 120 young adults, 14 adult mentors, numerous
youth empowerment advocates and elected officials will converge on
Portland to inspire and be inspired, support and be supported and teach
and learn hands on tools that youth can use immediately to transform the
power and impact of youth voice in your community and across Oregon. 
Learn more. ( activateoregon.wordpress.com )
 
We will examine successful models of strengthening youth voice;
ratifying a youth bill of rights, creating a youth advisory board,
getting out the youth vote and we will brainstorm new ideas.  Youth will
select ones to implement at home and develop action plans.  We will
build skills to put the plan to action, like public speaking, project
management, volunteer recruitment and creating youth/adult partnerships
and take the first critical steps to make those plans a reality. 
Participant will also enjoy great food, smile, laugh, dance, lead
discussions, sing, blog, move, play, leave with new tools, friends, and
networks.  Building on the success of OR150*s Activate Oregon, Project
2059, 4-H*s Know Your Government and Rural Development Initiative*s
leadership programs, this summit, designed for and in partnership with
youth, has the singular, focused goal of amplifying youth voice on a
community level.   Learn more. ( activateoregon.wordpress.com )
