Please save the date for the 3rd Annual Tri-Youth Leadership Day on March 26th from 10am to 3pm at the Aladdin Shrine in Grove City, Ohio.
We will be having each a track for Adults and Youth that day, info below. This day and its development opportunity for our members and advisors is brought to us by the Grand Lodge of Ohio who is extending the resources of their Masonic Model Student Assistance Program to us, DeMolay, and Job's Daughters. Sessions are lead by education and developmental experts. I highly encourage attendance.
*I am still waiting to receive final capacity numbers for this event from our contact with the Grand Lodge. Once available, a registration document will be circulated* (Thanks for your patience here, doing the best I can!)
Youth Session:
Theme: Seeding Intentional Positivity
Description: Research suggests that for every negative daily experience a human being faces, they must counteract that with three positive daily experiences. We expect to reach happiness and remain happy, when in actuality, happiness comes and goes from our lives. Positivity, though, can be intentionally seeded into our daily routines.
Those who can intentionally seed positivity into their lives will find themselves physically, socially, and emotionally healthier and more resilient. This session draws on positivity research from Dr. Barbara Frederickson, and explores seven research-based positivity practices through activity and dialogue.
Adult Session:
Theme: Developmental Relationships
Description: The SEARCH Institute in Minneapolis, MN has dedicated decades of its research to studying, understanding, and quantifying developmental relationships. These adult to youth relationships, when effectively in place, are found to provide the following benefits:
Increases resilience in the face of stress
Strengthens social emotional learning
Enhances academic achievement motivation
Deepens responsibility for one’s own actions
Decreases the likelihood of engaging in high-risk behaviors
This session will introduce the SEARCH Institute’s Developmental Relationships Framework and provide advisors with tangible actions to enhance developmental relationships within their youth organization.
