The Youth Organizing Institute is a popular education leadership development & youth organizing program centered on empowering the lives and experiences of young people. Participants of the Institute have completed a multitude of trainings, including: know your rights in school, designing buttons and t shirts, student walkouts in the Chicano movement, social movement history, power analysis and anti-oppression, and building an organizing campaign.
This year’s training will focus on story collecting and community engagement. An oral historian will lead a story collecting workshop that’ will prepare participants to collect SUSPENSION STORIES – or stories that allow young people to tell the circumstances and experiences of discipline in schools. We’ll also learn how to engage community members through a neighborhood canvas.
Please register by Monday April 14th if you want to attend this training. If you have any questions feel free to contact Bryan Perlmutter at bryan@empoweryouthnc.org. Please share this with any teen who has a passion for and love of justice!
