Participants of the 2018 Youth for Youth Conference can earn Service Learning hours when you attend the 2018 Youth for Youth Conference and then share what you learn with others who were not able to attend. 

Preparation Instruction:
Register for the 2018 Youth for Youth Conference with your school counselor or representative. Pay the $100 registration fee and attend all three days of the conference, March 16-18, 2018 at the Hyatt. 

Activity Instruction:
Actively participate in family groups, keynote speaker presentations and workshops. After the conference, create a flyer, brochure, film, or slide show, to teach your peers about something important that you learned at this conference. Since you will be learning a lot, you may choose one that stands out for you as the most important message you want to share. You can do more if you would like. Post on social media (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) using the hashtag #ROOTEDINYFY. Note how many views you got. Include this material in the reflection you turn in to your teacher. 

Reflection Instruction:

In order to earn service learning hours, a reflection needs to be turned in to a teacher who can input the hours into Power School. You need to address: What did you do? What did you learn? How was this an example of public service? Remember -  the service is the sharing of what you learned with your peers. 

Learning Standards/Objectives:
