Middle School Programing; Empowering Young Leaders

Middle school programming can be a lost art. That is a concern because middle school years are the most influential in a child’s life. They struggle to know who they are, who their friends are, academics are more challenging and they just do not know where they belong. This is why it is so important to not just create a middle school program, but an effective program that empowers your students and builds youth leaders that will grow into school and community leaders. It is not an easy task, but it is a task that if done right will be worth every extra hour you put into it. In this presentation you will learn about not only why a middle school program is important, but how to make your program as effective and empowering as possible.
