WORKSHOP OPTIONS

Evolution of the Revolution:
An Examination of Black Revolutionary Strategies

Examine social change strategies employed by Black activists, advocates, and changemakers throughout American history with the goal of identifying strategies that you can use to address the social issues of today. We will examine six distinct eras in Black history—Reconstruction, the Harlem Renaissance, the Civil Rights Movement, the Black Power Movement, the Rise of Hip Hop Culture, and the Black Lives Matter era—actively exploring how you can draw on these lessons to create change where you live and learn.  

Compass Leadership

Participants will have the opportunity to explore who they are as leaders more deeply by reflecting on their unique characteristics and habits when working with a team.  Youth Leaders will guide the group through understanding leadership competencies and exploring how different leadership styles can work together effectively and harmoniously.  By the end of this workshop, participants will better understand who they are as leaders and how to better work with the varying types of leaders on their teams.  

Personal Branding

Youth will be introduced to personal branding and learn how they can maximize their hiring potential. They will do this through discovering who they are, creating their identity, and how they can make their identity visible. At the end of the workshop, youth will be able to identify what their brand is and how they can continue to rebrand themselves.

Cameron Community Peace Walk:
A Call to Action!

Teens will discuss the personal and community effects of violence, as well as learn how to create an action plan. Learn about Cameron's annual Peace Walk, how it has impacted the NW quadrant of Rochester, and how they can be a part of the action.
