The first week of Everyday Leaders was great! It is a small, but energetic group of 6th and 8th graders ready to make a difference! We spent the first week getting to know one another and learning more about service-learning, civic engagement, leadership, and youth empowerment. We also watched a short video on Global Youth Service Day (check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTIVKluZV0o).
Students were able to pick out their own special journal and have started filling them in with notes and freewrites from the days. They are used as a way of communicating with the facilitator as well. As a group, students established the rules for the club. They then participated in team building activities and ice-breaker games. We a had a lot of fun with the human knot--especially when we couldn't talk!
