12 - older youth event

post by ashley

After talking with the YP participants, we decided that
a. they were really cool
and
b. we wanted to spend more time with them.
We originally thought that focalizing an all-nighter in the CC would be a
great bonding activity and would be a smart way to reward them for having
such a positive role in the community. We ended up not doing it for a
variety of reasons. There was concern about how parents would feel about
letting their kids stay up all night. Additionally, we were tight on time
and energy ourselves! To pull an all nighter on a weekend would have
sacrificed our personal sustainability at this point in time.
However, I still think that this activity would work out well, provided
that time and energy are abundant. Karen suggested that the extension
could be a "quiet" space for those who want to sleep. In the remaining
parts of the CC, activities such as casino games, dance parties, and art
projects could be going on, and be overseen by FCS students.
