BUCKHANNON — A free youth engagement workshop will take place Thursday, November 12, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at West Virginia Wesleyan College. The session will meet in the Benedum Campus Center’s third-floor Social Hall.
Erin Hudnall, a 2016 Wesleyan graduate, and Arin Shatto, a 2019 graduate, will lead the training. Both are with Glimmer Collaborative, LLC.
The college’s Center for Community Engagement & Leadership Development is hosting the Community Lab on Youth Engagement Best Practices, part of the center’s Community Lab series. My Buckhannon reported in January on the center’s labs on fundraising and marketing. According to a release from the college, the 90-minute training will introduce ten youth engagement practices and include question-and-answer sessions with specialists.
The workshop is aimed at people who involve young people in projects, programs or events. Wesleyan says the practices focus on safe environments, positive experiences and equitable relationships with youth.
Anyone may attend. The college specifically invites the center’s community partners, Buckhannon-Upshur businesses and Wesleyan students, including Wesleyan Service Scholars.
