Connect Philly Youth Development Consultants meeting

Posted by on August 26, 2013

CONNECT Philly Youth Development Consultants (PYDC) started in April of 2013 in an effort to bring other youth development consultants together around the goals of:

*increasing collaboration and reducing competition among youth development consultants;
*increasing access to other consultants in an effort to take on larger projects; and
*developing a network of thought-partners and collaborators.

CONNECT PYDC meets monthly (typically on the first or second Thursday of the month) at Buzz Cafe (1800 Howard Street at the corner of Montgomery Street, 19122). The meetings are from 8:30-10am and are open to other youth development consultants. Already, at least one person has secured work through the group! Check us out on Facebook or LinkedIn.

Next Meeting Date: Thursday, September 12th 8:30-10am
Location: Buzz Café
Topic: Speed Support

We are looking for up to three youth development consultants who have need specific feedback on one area where they are stuck (e.g, I’m having a hard time identifying my target audience; how can I make this workshop reach a wider audience; I need some feedback on my mission statement and identifying three goals of my work)

These people will rotate up to three times, spending about 20 min each time, among small groups of people who will listen to the concern and offer suggestions/solutions. Then the individual will rotate and get additional feedback from another team.

If you are interested in being someone who is getting the support, please contact Rebecca (rebecca_fabiano@yahoo.com) BY September 9th to discuss.
