Partners in Education: Transition Mini Conference

 As we observe Veterans Day and honor all those who have served our country, past and present, Americans spent their day at home, watching TV, doing chores, and planning their weekend. Yet some youth spent time as part of the SPAN Youth Chat! Yesterday's chat was short, but we promoted the Partners In Education: Transition Mini-Conference, Saturday, 11/14 at 10 AM - 12 PM. It will feature a Youth Track (ages 14-21) that will speak on Youth Leadership Development, Building Youth Self-Advocacy Skills, and Leading Your IEP Meeting. 

Here is a run-through on How To Register:

  1. Select register on the Eventbrite page (link below resources at the end of the blog post). Select Youth Admission ticket (adult tickets are sold out).
  2. Fill out contact information.
  3. Fill out all form questions.
  4. There will be an option to note if you need a Spanish interpreter or accommodations. 
  5. (Optional) Check off if you would like to receive updates from the organizer and Eventbrite.
  6. Submit registration.
    And, that is all! Follow the steps and you will be registered for this Saturday's Transition Mini-Conference. Are you excited to attend? Do you any burning questions about the conference? Let us know in the comment section below. And, join us on the youth chat, every Wednesday at 3:300 - 3:30 PM. Bring a friend to help build the community!

However, there are many apps, resources, and specialities that make it easier to get the hang of a second language. Apps like Busuu, Duolingo, and MemRise allow new users to generally pick up sentence structure, native writing, phrases, and more.

Stronger Together: Finding Strength in Shared Journeys, featuring Growing Up Online

There’s something really special about talking to someone who has gone through the same things you have. They understand in a way that others might not, because they’ve lived it too. When people with similar life experiences support each other, it can make a big difference. It helps you feel less alone, gives you hope, and often brings helpful advice that comes from real experience. Whether it’s dealing with a disability, mental health, or big life changes, support from someone who “gets it” can truly change your life.

The long days and warm weather make it easier to enjoy each other’s company and grow closer as friends.
