Deepening the Impact of the BGCA Military Youth of the Year Program
On April 14, 2021, Brent Edwards and Angela Ware provided all Navy CYPs with a virtual training on Deepening the Impact of the BGCA Military Youth of the Year Program. The MYOY program is a distinct component of the BGCA Youth of the Year (YOY) program and was introduced in 2013 to recognize outstanding teens served by Military Youth Programs affiliated with the BGCA on military installations worldwide. During the virtual training, participants explore best practices and strategies to incorporate the MYOY program into their year-round programming and more! Participants also have the opportunity to hear from previous/current MYOYs on their MYOY program experience and what the program has meant to them. The virtual training features presentations, audience interaction, and a live Q&A. All participants are asked to review the resources found at the following links:
After reviewing the virtual training, each participant is asked to complete a reflection guide to facilitate deeper thinking and action planning. After completing the reflection guide, CYP professionals should connect with their T&C Specialist to update their individual development plan (IDP) via CYMS. **Please note that there are two recordings of this webinar. While the structure and general of each webinar is the same, both recordings are being shared as each session had different youth speakers and the dialogue of each was quite impactful.**
