‘Building Community’ theme for 2018 Youth Leadership Summit
The first meeting of the Youth Leadership Summit was held Oct. 23 at Madison Oneida BOCES. Component districts are invited to send a team of student representatives to three meetings throughout the school year.
The theme for this year’s summit was “Building Community.”
Each district team’s goal is to develop plans which will benefit students, their districts and their communities. An emphasis on this year’s planning will include:
- Dialogue and planning process regarding issues that are important from student perspectives
related to building community; - focus on opportunities to build community and develop a plan of action that addresses a
youth related issue; - taking action locally in order to improve on self, others and their communities; and
- consideration of community service projects and volunteerism and student leadership.
The Canastota team consists of advisors Liz Garofalo and Lisa Visalli and students Carly Cashel, Luke Ackerman, Matt McDermott, Jacob Malbouf, Logan Hood, Payten Shirley, Bryson DeMott, Kendra Evans, Lee Hannan and Lucas Barnello.
The next meeting is scheduled for February.
