Asset Champions meet "Spark" Champions!

One of the most exciting things that has been happening at Metro Youth Partnership centers around a growing partnership with a small group of dedicated students at Ben Franklin Middle School in Fargo, ND.

This group of empowered students has been working hard to create a youth-led version of Asset Champion Training. Their training is interactive, artistic, exciting, and extraordinarily powerful!!! On top of introducing adults in the Fargo-Moorhead area to the developmental asset framework, it asks each participant to consider acting as a "Spark" Champion for young people in the community.

There are two community "Spark" Trainings scheduled for this spring, here are the details:

"Spark" Training

Teens Training Adults

The "Sparks" (Search Institute) of these teens will teach adults simple skills to become a "Spark Champion" for any teen.

When? March 30th or April 22nd: Noon to 1pm

Where?
Fargo Public Schools District Office, Board Room (415 4th St. N.)

Why?
To learn and impact the lives of children and teens
