<strong>Join</strong> <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Initiative</strong>!<br />
What is the <strong>Nazareth</strong> <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Initiative</strong>?<br />
<strong>Nazareth</strong> is part of a program that involves several area Catholic schools<br />
called the <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Initiative</strong>.<br />
The goal of this program is to make schools the best place possible for<br />
students<br />
All <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Initiative</strong> members are on the school team which meets once a<br />
month<br />
Students meet monthly to discuss concerns, program ideas and plan and<br />
implement programs.<br />
Students also conduct focus groups to get student input on a variety of<br />
issues at school.<br />
What does <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Initiative</strong> Do?<br />
The way the <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Initiative</strong> works is that you can be involved in as much as<br />
you have time for. Some students do all the programs and some pick the ones<br />
that they are most interested in, but everyone must attend the monthly<br />
meetings. The programs include:<br />
Blizzard Parent Workshop<br />
Focus Groups<br />
Freshman Orientation<br />
Red Ribbon Week<br />
Snowball<br />
Other leadership and training programs<br />
How Can You Get Involved?<br />
Students who wish to join the <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Initiative</strong> must attend a training on<br />
Sunday, June 3 from 1 to 5 and then are able to participate in <strong>Youth</strong><br />
<strong>Initiative</strong> programs and activities.<br />
Who Can <strong>Join</strong> the School Team?<br />
Lots of different students get involved. Freshman through Juniors<br />
Students who are very active at school and students who have not been<br />
involved in very much; everyone is welcome!<br />
