Goal 10- Advocate for Quality Programs

Goal: Advocate for quality programs to meet various needs

Strategy: I will observe various programming and make note of elements that work well and elements that need strengthening.

Resource: According to Carol Stewart (2013), “Youth development and positive youth development are community-based approaches to providing opportunities for youth to enhance their leadership skills and optimize the development  of youth toward healthy contributing adults in today’s society, (p.94).

Evidence: 

Reflection: This is the white board of the programs and activities that the people we support participate in. I have been to all of them now and have begun coming up with new activities that we can add to this schedule. For example, in week 10 I sat in on a meeting with one of the participants and several of the staff who support them. In this meeting I was able to help expand on her activities by suggesting that I make the dinners for the After School program with them because they love to cook and is consistently trying to connect with the students in that program.
