Unleash Your Potential... Get AMP’D<br />

Your journey is unique and personal. So is your advocacy. Something powerful happens when you bring your personal<br />

journey into your advocacy. This workshop is designed to support you in identifying and using key components of your<br />

journey to passionately advocate <strong>for</strong> change that will impact you and others. As a participant, you will learn about the<br />

experience of Achieving Maximum Potential (AMP) foster youth in Iowa, who have worked <strong>for</strong> 6 years to pass 13 laws<br />

and create multiple policy changes in the state of Iowa. You will also identify and discuss highlights of your journey<br />

and sharpen your skills as an advocate. You will acquire practical tools <strong>for</strong> setting a goal, enlisting supports, and<br />

achieving a dream.<br />

The Spoken Word<br />

We all have stories and those stories can be used to create spoken word art. When we use spoken word to tell our stories<br />

and share our experiences, we can create change in our communities and system. You will learn about the art of spoken<br />

word poetry. You will hear examples that are based in personal stories and experiences and then use your own stories to<br />

create spoken word poetry. You will also have a chance to per<strong>for</strong>m your poetry if you choose to.<br />
