Take CHarge:
Training for Leaders in Youth Extracurricular Activities
The Time is Now.
I believe youth extracurricular activities have the power to change the world in a positive way. Through this training, owners, teachers, and stakeholders from varying youth extracurricular industries will converge to think expansively, critically and courageously as we explore the ways we can uniquely contribute to the landscape of children’s activities.
The Place is Raleigh.
We’ll convene the first weekend of August 2024 in Raleigh, North Carolina, a city known for innovation, development, strategy, and growth. Sessions will be held in the Spotlight Space at Stage Door Dance Productions in the Brier Creek area of Raleigh, a true hub of evolution.
