<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 />

How do I sign up?<br />
