Youth Service Institute

MN FCCLA was represented by Garrett, Lauryn and Wendy at the Youth Service Institute in Washington DC October 6-9. It was awesome to be with the leaders of service-learning and youth leadership programs. We also a presented a workshop session about engaging elected officials with co-presenters from National Youth Leadership Council and National Service Learning Partnership. We heard awesome and inpiring stories from service learning experts such as: C. Gregg Petersmeyer, former assistant to President of the office of National Service under George HW Bush, Harris Wofford who helped to start the Peace Corps, John Bridgeland, former Director of the USA Freedom Corps and Sonal Shah, Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Social Innivation and Civi Engagement for President Obama.

Global Youth Service Day is April 23-25, 2010.

Watch for more about our plans as a lead agency for GYLD

FCCLA is a dynamic and effective youth organization with the focus on the family.
