Today there was a meeting in Oconto (30 minutes from my hometown) to go over Diocesan material. This is when the seven different local conferences send their presidents to collaborate and and present information. The different diocese make up the North Central Region. I was asked to come to present my PowerPoint to the leaders to help them form their own youth organizations and to give them project ideas. I brought two fellow volunteers Ryan and Rachel to present with. The presentation went really well! The audience was very receptive and wasn't afraid to ask questions. For the older generation, it's hard to understand how the young mind works. It was great to go through what interests teens, what they are skill sets are, and how to get them into volunteering.
I was able to meet Sr. Christian, who helped me get my Skype article published. She is the National Youth Coordinator, so I'm glad she could take time out of her busy schedule to attend the meeting. It's really great to volunteer my time by teaching others. I feel like I can lend my perspective and creativity to others to help their own endeavours.
