Compose a recruitment letter to former YLP members
This youth leadership program is young adults who have experience in foster care. This program includes a wide range of youth who have participated in Camp to Belong (a camp that reunited siblings who were separated in foster care)
Camp is a week in the summer. At camp the YLP participants spend the first half of Camp in training, and the second half supporting Camp Counselors as Peer Leaders.
The objectives of YLP are for participants to be to describe leadership styles and which style they identify with, demonstrate the ability to give and receive constructive feedback, describe peer leader role and expectations, communicate well with campers, family group counselors and other staff, relate the concepts of self-care, leadership, communication and trust, develop self-reflection and self-insight skills, and to describe what it means to be an ally in the foster care system.
YLP- Youth Leadership Program
Youth Leadership Program (YLP): As a part of Camp to Belong, we have developed a Peer Leadership Training program for our campers who are “aging out” of foster care. The goal of the program is to provide an additional support system for our long time campers and to invite them to remain part of the CTB-MA family by becoming camp counselors after graduating from YLP at the age of 21.
In the Letter Please include the different options the person can be involved in.
Involvement from YLP, which can be dependent on what their capacity/interest is.
At the lower end, we would want a few people to attend and share thoughts at maybe a couple of board meetings a year.
