Youth and adults "Get It Started" in Woodland

by Izabelle Ponce, Youth Engagement Leader
Woodland Coalition for Youth / Yolo Family Resource Center

Youth and adult partnerships were formed at the “Let’s Get It Started” youth conference held on Sept. 26 at Woodland Community College in the historic town of Woodland.

The conference was the second annual of what organizers from the Woodland Coalition for Youth plan to be a yearly event. Seventy-five people, young and old, took part in the day’s activities, which focused on interacting with one another to build leadership skills. The event also served as the kickoff of a six-month series of workshops in Woodland. The next session will take place on Oct. 17 at the community college.

“Let’s Get It Started” was made possible with the support of the Yolo Family Resource Center, Yolo County Office of Education, Woodland Public Library Children’s Services, Early Academic Outreach Program and UC Davis, Woodland Community College, Yolo County Friday Night Live Partnership and Sierra Health Foundation.
