The Teen Network Board (TNB) held its final meeting of the year last week. They honored 25 graduating seniors! TNB members will be attending
colleges around the country to include: Wake Forest, Boston University,
University of Georgia, Pomona, Fordham, UNC Chapel Hill, Tulane as well
as Virginia Tech, JMU, UVA, NoVa, VCU, and Mary Washington.
The
group thanked the 2016-17 Co-Chairs Noah Robertson and Simer Choudhary
and welcomed the incoming Co-Chairs Ribka Tewelde and Lydia Ambellu.
The year flew by, as it always does, but we have pulled together the highlights in this short VIDEO. Enjoy!

Thousands of Arlington youth encounter caring adults every single
day. Since 2004, the Arlington Partnership for Children, Youth and
Families (APCYF) has recognized 114 of those people as Connect with Kids
Champions – adults who have built caring, supportive relationships with
young people.
Reid Goldstein, School Board member, acknowledges that there are many
caring ‘champions’ who support young people throughout Arlington. “In
the schools alone we have thousands of incredible teachers and
counselors who connect with kids; but there are also countless
volunteers, afterschool program staff, coaches, bus drivers, custodians,
food service people – all of whom connect with kids in school every
day!”

The Arlington Out of School Time (OST)
Council invites you to share your knowledge, skills, and ideas with OST Staff
by offering a workshop at the 2017 OST Asset Conference. Our goal is to offer a
wide variety of workshops for an OST audience with varied levels of experience
and education.
The conference theme is Exceeding Expectations: Customer Service
in OST and focuses on
both the ‘product’ (program content) and ‘service’ (how serve young people) of
OST programs.
Workshop sessions are facilitator-led and are
designed to share
-
successful strategies,
practices, and ideas that participants can apply the following Monday in their
program, or
-
thoughtful sessions to
build the skills and knowledge base of OST professionals, as supervisors, peer
mentors, or youth leaders. Click here to learn about and propose a WORKSHOP.
CONFERENCE DATE: Saturday, November 4, 2017
