Event 2

One Youth Event I went to was at the Lincoln Y. This event was in the end of October where they had youth run a Halloween event. Add this event they did have Trunk or Treat, a bouncy house, a wellness area and information about how to have a healthy body. At the healthy body area there were youth leading different fun yoga exercises. This is an event that I took my whole family to and watch my children interact with the older youth leading the events. It was wonderful to see how my children were looking up to the use and following the directions of what they were being told. This was the first time that they'd been to the Lincoln Y and they had never meant the children that their interacted with before. I like watching the dynamic of the youth leading the activity and other children following what they're supposed to be doing. Another station they had was the craft area there are for youth leading the activity and they had a craft project with children create create a pumpkin however they wanted. They had different types of supplies out for them to be able to use. Do you use for there to help anyone that might need it with trying to draw things, gluing things down or try to look for a supply. There were some staff there but they were only helping you find different things they might need. I did ask the teachers there how this event got started and they said it was something that they use wanted to do. They came to the teachers asking to do a trunk or treat and the teachers replied with as long as you take the role in organizing the event. It was the first time that the Lincoln y had done this event and the turnout was amazing they said. They love seeing how they use took charge and did something they wanted to do. This will be an event that I would go to next year if they do have it because I think it is awesome to help support events that youth are leading to help Empower them in their leadership skills.
