Come join for the May MSN Meeting this Wednesday, May 5th!
We will be looking at the programs we offer to young people across the city (what is available for each grade?) and considering what we need to do as a network of providers to help young people build connections, support healing, and build something accessible for all. Come to think together about your own program, to help others brainstorm, and to weigh in on an exciting new project for the summer that has the potential to bring together providers and young people in new ways. Meeting info: Wed, May 5th from 10am-12pm (come for all or some, whatever you can!) Zoom info:

MSN Community Announcements (from our March meeting):
We have had many requests for the slides from our September meeting - especially those on the Upper School student schedules and summarizing the status for CPS schools and reopening. Here they are - please also feel free to email us with questions. Do you see an opening where you could serve young people within their virtual school schedules? Let us know and we can help you connect and explore the possibility of working with school staff on complementary programming or structure during asynchronous periods. Also, here are links to the specific schools' remote learning websites:
Thanks to all of you who joined for our October meeting - we had a mix of new and familiar faces.
Here’s a PDF of slides from the meeting (links are still clickable) In case you missed it: We reviewed our big picture basics on school reopening (the October date for the youngest learners to return to in-person is quickly approaching), criteria and metrics that CPS is posting on their website (see slides) and the conversation from the previous night’s School Committee meeting. We had a great Q&A session about remote schooling with input and answers from school-based staff in four schools - Mariel Santos Dugan (Guidance Counselor at Amigos) Julia Ho (School Partnerships at RAUC) Dami Oluwole, Youth Connector at CSUS and Ted Hirsch from CCSC. We talked about what attendance looks like, struggles or strategies for video on/video off engagement and what homework looks like, among other things.
Our June gathering focused on difficult conversations about race, police brutality and systemic inequity, and talking about it on three levels of our world - with ourselves, with our team/staff members and with young people. Why all three? Because the largest level - our society, our world, will always be a reflection of the small ways in which we do things, not the other way around.
After this first section and breakout group on how you’ve been preparing yourself to have difficult conversations (and sustaining yourself through the toll that they take), MSN folks shared some concrete takeaways: |
