Why YS? Advocating for the Youth Services Profession

Who's the best person to advocate for the purpose and value of strong and meaningful youth services librarianship? You are! In this full-day workshop that's anything but a quiet affair, you'll learn how to leverage the work you're already doing with kids and families into powerful advocacy that makes a difference.

The fun starts with big conversations, small group activities and individual reflections that get you thinking, speaking and acting like an everyday advocate. We'll define "advocacy" together, bust some common myths and explore classical persuasive communication techniques. Then we'll put it all together in practical, easy-to-implement frameworks perfect for sharing advocacy messages anytime, anywhere and with anyone. Leave this workshop feeling empowered, prepared and ready to say, "Yes! I can do this!"

There are no prerequisites for this workshop. The advocacy magic unfolds through your enthusiasm, energy and collaborative spirit, so bring them all and be ready to share!

Friday, April 26, 2019 from 9:30AM-5PM in the Lecture Hall at the Cambridge Public Library, 449 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02138
