Summer has come to a close.  For many, it is time to dust off lunchboxes, buy new notebooks, and head back to school. It is also time to say good-bye to the two incredible CTEP Americorps members who have contributed so much to SPNN Youth Programs this past year.

SPNN Youth Programs Staff and Youth Retreat

On a rainy but warm June day, SPNN Youth Programs staff and youth participants gathered together for the first annual SPNN Youth Retreat.  The goal for the retreat was to reflect on experiences over the past year, and talk about goals for the future.

We focused on three areas: integrating new technologies onto our programs, developing youth leadership and voice, and increasing social engagement and visibility. Within these goals, we brainstormed ways we could improve all of these areas. Visibility was identified as a top priority; attendees came up with many creative ideas to get the word out about our programs and the awesome media that youth are producing.

Farewell to Andrea

Since 2005, Andrea Lehmann has been a dedicated member of the SPNN Youth Department, leading both the Set It Up program, and the summer Youth Intern Program.

This May we said goodbye to Andrea as she embarked on the adventure of taking care of her new daughter, Eva.  We thank her for her dedication to SPNN, to the youth we work with, and to helping youth produce creative and socially engaged media.   We will miss her dearly and wish her the best of luck.
