University of Chicago, International House, 1414 East 59th Street. Space is LIMITED. THE LOCATION IS WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE.
Building off the "Something is Wrong" curriculum guide released in February 2010, community-based organizations from across Chicago will model how to engage youth in dialogue about the root causes of violence. This unique day-long skill-sharing & resource exchange will offer participants:
 1. Concrete resources and curriculum to use with youth in their own communities.
2. Hands on training in how to facilitate engaging and interactive workshops with youth.
3. An ability to ask questions directly to experts who work with youth.

Workshops will be offered by Beyondmedia Education, Blocks Together, Build Inc., Family Rescue, Gender Just, Literature for All of Us, Mikva Challenge, Project NIA, Rogers Park Young Women's Action Team, Umoja Student Development Corporation, Young Women's Empowerment Project.

Please also join us for a special lunchtime keynote presentation by Anisha Chablani, Deputy Director of ROCA Inc. ROCA (http://rocainc.org/) is a performance-based and outcomes-driven organization that helps young people to change their behavior and shift the trajectories of their lives through a High-Risk Youth Intervention Model. Roca's mission is to help disengaged and disenfranchised young people move out of violence and poverty.

The event is being offered at NO COST to participants thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Center for the Study of Race, Politics, & Culture at the University of Chicago. This event was organized by Project NIA ( http://www.project-nia.org/) and the newly-formed Chicago Youth Worker/Adult Ally Training and Resource Exchange (TARE).

We encourage adult allies to apply along with a couple of youth leaders who have already exhibited an interest or desire to facilitate popular education workshops. This will be an invaluable professional development opportunity for youth and adults. We expect all participants in this event to be BOTH teachers and learners. Active listening and engaged participation are expected throughout the event. Breakfast and Lunch will be provided. Full fare CTA Passes will be available for those who need them.

YOU MUST APPLY. There are two ways that you can apply to participate in this event. You can complete an application online here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NQGRDN3
Or you can download the application as PDF file complete it by September 3rd and fax it to 773-338-7774.
NOTE: Completing an application DOES NOT guarantee that you are registered. All confirmed registrations will be announced by September 11th, 2010. Unfortunately not everyone who applies will be able to attend this event. We will make every effort to adequately document the event and will create a public record of what happened so that those who weren't present can still participate.
