Hello everyone!
I am back once again! This time, I bring some very exciting news about an event MYAC is going to be helping with in the coming months. It was an idea brought to us recently by Community Living Welland-Pelham as a part of their Change Project. It is an idea that is related to an event that Toronto has run for the last two years called 100in1Day, but with a few modifications to meet Welland's needs. (Link to Toronto's event: https://toronto.100in1day.ca/) The idea that Community Living had with the event was to, instead of having 100 events in just 1 day, to start small but with an idea that focuses on positive spaces as apposed to random acts of kindness. Don't get me wrong, Random Acts are great, but it just isn't where they want to go with the event. Instead, they want to focus on the main idea of, "Who are the youth that don't get to sit at the table (fit in)," and,"Well, why exactly is that?" The way they will accomplish that is by hosting ten "mini-events" in schools and with the help of other committees (hence our support) and businesses that all focus around building safe places (communities) for youth to come and talk and hangout for a few hours all in one day. SO what is MYAC's involvement in this event? We are going to be in charge of holding one of these events, but this is where you (the reader) comes into play! We are extremely busy planning our events for Kickstart Youth (the events we hold every year in May) so we need your great ideas to help out with this event! I am not sure whether it will be a form you can fill out on the front page or a new survey, but make sure you head there after reading this and give some ideas we could do to promote a SAFE COMMUNITY for youth! That is the main idea! More info to come on the event soon, just submit those wonderful ideas about possible events MYAC could help host to promote positive spaces and communities within youth! Thanks! Caleb
