Hey Youth and Parents!
I hope you had a great spring break!
In March, the youth took on leadership roles in the SpiritJam pilot as “Jammers.” Coming of Age youth and their parents talked about changing privileges and responsibilities with growing up. Our Whole Lives explored birth control and STDs. We are looking forward to BridgingCon, the Easter Can Hunt, and summer camps of many sorts!
Please also look at the early registration for Coming of Age and Our Whole Lives, which both start in early September 2014.
