[Dialogue] ICA -Teen Summer Program

[Janice Ulangca]

Appreciation and gratitude to Nino, Sunny, Terry, all who helped with this great program - and most of all to the youth themselves -- such an under-used gift to the world.  The whole web site is better and better too.

  ICA-USA Teen Summer Program

  A Force for Positive Social Change 

   

  Beginning in June, Institute of Cultural Affairs-USA implemented an intensive facilitative training and job experience program for 107 community youth, ages 14-24 years.  The Summer Teen Facilitators Pilot Program was a ground breaking experience in many ways.  It challenged the youth to discover new ways of thinking through ICA facilitation training and new ways of acting and working through ecology-friendly and "green" projects. There were 15 different origins represented and 8 different languages spoken by the youth. The overall goal of the program was to empower the young leaders of tomorrow to have a voice in society today.   

   

  I have posted on the ICA-USA website's (www.ica-usa.org) Home Page a short video that highlights the program and the youth. Please, check it out.  I hope you enjoy the smiling faces and the "force for positive social change" that they represent. 

   

   

  Be well,

  Karen
