Each of these workshops was customized with NYE2020 and you in mind. Join us online for some of these virtual gatherings. Watch with your youth community or share with others. We encourage you to engage in the conversation around the workshops after you’ve participated.
This workshop is an interactive seminar on the importance of voting, the intricacies of voter registration and is also a lesson on how minors and those ineligible to become voter deputy registrars can register their communities to vote. Our nation functions as a representative government but because youth can’t vote we aren’t represented. By registering our neighbors and communities as young people we not only inspire them to vote but to vote in the best interests of youth.
The challenging times in which we live needs creative, adaptive and resilient leaders more than ever. You may be questioning yourself: “But, I’m just a youth?” or “I’m just a youth leader?” You are NOT just anything. You are a wonderful creation of the Divine who has gifts, skills and talents that a hurting world needs now more than ever. Learn how mindfulness practices such as yoga, meditation, breath and prayer can help you tap into your God-given gifts and to share in the world and lead the change we need in the church and beyond.
