Committing

Leadership Institute, Session 1, January 13, 2009

Present: Brittany, Jahmala, Roshelle, Tene and Sister Kathleen (left early)

After a hiatus, the Leadership Institute reconvened to talk about the future of the program and possible upcoming opportunities. One of the main purposes of the meeting was to determine what commitment each of the members could make to the upcoming programs, specifically the Dialogue conference in June. All the students remained committed to the Leadership Institute, but were admittedly occupied with other responsibilities as well. Yet still, we all agreed to move forward with applying to the Dialogue conference and presenting a workshop at the Conference. We agreed to institute a phone tree, and that we would work even harder to respond to emails and calls so that we could stay in touch and know what everyone was able to contribute.

We also spent a bit of time brainstorming ideas for the proposal for the Dialogue Conference workshop. Since many of the conference participants will be adults, we decided to make the workshop informative for adults who want to do dialogue with youth. We figured that we could share what works and what doesn't work, along with different activities that will help youth to really dialogue with each other and with adults who work with them. We would also like to present the work of the Leadership Institute and Confronting Concerns, because we felt that it was important for adults to see examples of how youth can successfully create dialogues between each other.

Overall, we all agreed that the Conference will be our big project for this year’s Leadership Institute, especially given that there are other academic responsibilities that are important this year. If any other opportunities came up, we would talk about them, but we were going to spend our time making sure that the workshop for the conference was as strong as possible.
