AmeriCorps/VISTA Vermont Rock!
Had a just lovely workshop with 32 AmeriCorps/VISTA members (these are young people typically just out of university who are spending a year volunteering in a community. Many in this group are working on environmental education and with at-risk populations, which is to say young people who are disproportionately likely to drop out of school, abuse drugs and alcohol, etc).
Since I have done workshops for AmeriCorps before, I though it was a great opportunity to share the “facilitation” role with their full-time staff. So I basically just introduced the program and the process, and Amanda, my amazing artist-cofacilitator for the day, gave more explicit instruction around the theme (“What is the change I want to make in the world?”) and debrief/discussion.
