Posted by on December 19, 2011
You are invited to attend the 24th Annual At-Risk Youth National FORUM, “Connecting the Dots of Collaboration” to be held Sunday, February 19, 2012, to Wednesday, February 22, 2012, at the Kingston Plantation in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
This year’s FORUM is designed to enhance the leadership skills of all adults who are seeking to strengthen interventions among school, community, and families, especially to assist those in at-risk situations.
During the FORUM, innovative, skilled presenters who have excellent ideas, proven programs, and evidence-based research will share in the areas of (1) dropout prevention, (2) attendance, truancy, and resiliency, (3) english language learners, (4) community partnerships, (5) parental involvement, (6) alternative programs, (7) curriculum and instruction, and (8) leadership development.
As part of the FORUM this year, a Student Leadership Track will be offered for high school students. The track will encourage students to develop a personal mission and vision statement and a list of personal core values that will shape their lives. Other topics addressed will include finances, healthy living, citizenship, developing healthy relationships, and leadership at home and in school. Teachers and youth development professionals are encouraged to bring student leaders to participate in this new opportunity.
The 24th Annual At-Risk Youth National FORUM is sponsored by the National Dropout Prevention Center/Network and the Urban Intitiative at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in partnership with Communities In Schools of North Carolina, Inc and University of North Carolina Wilmington Watson School of Education Dropout Prevention Coalition.
