Week 1: Introduction

The kick off to Everyday Leaders was a great one! We have grown in size, and I am very excited to see all of the wonderful leaders who have turned out the for the club this year. We spent the day getting to know each other with name games and get-to-know you games. We also talked more about the expectations of the club as well as discussed key vocabulary like service-learning, civic engagement, leadership, and youth empowerment.

We also started to learn more about Global Youth Service Day (check it out this video to learn more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTIVKluZV0o).

Students will need to provide a special notebook/journal that they can dedicate to the club for freewrites and reflection. They are used as a way of communicating with the facilitator as well. As a group, students established the rules for the club. Please remember to bring them next week - look forward to seeing you all again!

Peace,

Laura
