Helping Youth Leaders Develop their Presentations

I went to three campuses working with the three groups twice a week

Give them their theme and guidelines with lots of freedom:

Creating Allies, Healthy Relationships (which included healthy communication, importance of consent, healthy boundaries), and By-stander intervention,.

Each group came up with their own power point, visual aids and group activities

Lessons Learned

Start Project Earlier in the Year Less Chaos More Youth Leader Preparedness Less unintended “Surprises” But some positive surprises: “job

shadow” opportunity (student interest in psychology, social work, teaching)

Unintended surprise, gathered a panel of 4 youth to present at Sexuality Conference

Investing in youth pays BIG
