The 2011 Youth Ready Chicago Community Council After School Enrollment Event is on its way! The After School Enrollment Event Planning Committee has been busy working away on this great event, and we have updates to share with you!
The event will be in mid-September, and we are beginning to recruit for the ways that you can contribute to this year's event! This email contains two different ways to participate with the event that you should check out.
Agency Highlight Sessions
Agency Highlight Sessions will be experiential workshops that agencies will host to show young people the fabulous work they are doing. Think of of this as an interactive showcase--rather than simply presenting your work to youth, you will be involving them in it. This will be an opportunity to lead your favorite activity with a new group of youth, to start a conversation with more youth, share a skill your agency values--the possibilities are endless.
We need you to submit a proposal form with what your agency will plan to do during your "Highlight Session." Be Creative, be adventurous, have fun! Think about what your agency does and how you can help get more youth excited about After School!

Resource Tables
This year, since the event is focusing on After School Enrollment we need you to participate in our After School Enrollment Event Resource Fair. The goal of the fair is for all young people and their families to learn about all of the fantastic opportunities for programs and services in Region 1.
This will be an opportunity for your program to share what you do and explain to young people why After School is an important time to continue their growth.
Additionally, all organizations that are at the resource fair will be added into the Event's Program "Passport." The Passport will be used to give information about all agencies at the event and will serve as a fantastic take-home item that will include fantastic information about your agency's programs.
Register to be part of this Resource Event Here:
The deadline to fill out both of these forms is August 15th!!
