11th ANNUAL YOUTH ACTIVISM GATHERING
for youth to come together, organize, & share ideas. Meet people from around the state; have a voice in our communities; share skills and information to empower ourselves.
WHEN: April 16-18, 2011
WHERE: Turner Grange, Route 117, Turner Center, ME
What is the Youth Activism Gathering?
The YAG is an annual event in which youth from all over the state (and sometimes beyond) converge to share ideas, explore issues and methods of resolving them, share knowledge, network and get creative. The YAG is a 3-day celebration of political action, fierce youth brilliance, and do-it-yourself fun! Come share ideas, skills, and experiences with other youth from around the state.
Who Comes to the YAG?
- People from diverse backgrounds
- People with any level of experience
- Mostly people in their teens to 30’s but all young at heart are welcome
- Doesn’t matter if you’ve had lots of experience in activism or you are completely new to it!
Does it cost money?
In order to keep the YAG going each year, we ask for $5-10/day. But, if you can’t pay that much or anything at all, you’re still welcome to come. We want everyone to come who wants to. You can also register when you arrive at the gathering, but if we know you are coming, it helps us to figure out how many are coming, how much food to get, who can rideshare with others, etc.
LOGISTIX:
Arrive anytime after 10 AM on Saturday, April 16. Circle up at noon. Gathering ends at 3 PM on Monday, April 18.
See you there!
