Join VOICES and the 110º After School Magazine Project youth staff on Thursday, May 31, 2007 to celebrate the publication of Issue 7 of 110º: Tucson’s Youth Tell Tucson’s Stories. We will be recognizing the youth contributors to the magazine at the Pima Community College Center for the Arts Proscenium Theatre from 6:00 - 8:30 p.m.
How can we best design and implement programs that promote positive youth development? What role should national research play? How can we learn from local colleagues? How can the local and national interact? Should they? And how can all this help us improve as practitioners, fundraisers, funders, leaders, and advocates? Workshop instructors are Regina Kelly and Rachel K. Villarreal, Executive Director and Projects Director (respectively) at Tucson’s award-winning youth development agency, VOICES: Community Stories Past and Present.
What do you live for? What makes you feel alive? What do you want to wake up to this spring, the season of new beginnings? Join veteran VOICES artists, Kimi Eisele and Josh Schachter, for the Living Stories Project. This one-day workshop will be offered this Spring 2007. Watch this space for the workshop day and time.
