Well, Dr. Bernard LaFayette just tore it up at his presentation on November 11, 2009. He spoke in front of a standing room only crowd of over 100. Good to see so many Tucsonans, Phoenicians, Tijuanans, Californians, etc. gather to learn some nonviolence history and techniques. This was a public talk but it also served as the kick off for a Level 1 Fast Track Class.

Looks like we are going to have some more trainers in our midst.

Tucson Core Introduction to Kingian Nonviolence is in full effect this weekend. Marcela, Nick, Miss Lori, Josue, CJ and Ann are doing a good job of training us.

There is still going to be one more opportunity to take the training on November 7 & 8 in preparation for the Level 1 fast track training with Doc LaFayette on November 11-15.

Hey Tucson Nonviolence Legacy Project! How is your summer going? Ann just asked me to post this information about Every Voice In Action's 2009/2010 Youth Crew. Now is the time to nominate yourself if you are interested in this opportunity. The form won't copy real well here, so you can email Ann azyellott@aol.com or call her at and she can email you a copy.


Every Voice in Action Foundation
2009/2010 Youth Crew
SELF NOMINATION FORM



Every Voice in Action Foundation is a private foundation with a mission to “ignite and support youth voice, infusing the community with the unique perspective of young people.” Our Youth Crew, now in its 10th year, plays a critical role by providing Foundation staff with insight into the issues facing youth today. Youth Crew members conduct Every Voice in Action’s annual grant round. They decide what issue to fund, create a Request for Proposals, review proposals, and grant $50,000 to local nonprofits and schools. New this year, Crew members will visit and evaluate the programs that are recipients of the grant round. They will also research community issues and develop action projects of their own. The Crew meets every Thursday from 4:00 – 6:00 pm during the school year and also has two weekend retreats (mid-September and early January). You can find more information about Every Voice and the past Youth Crews at www.everyvoicefoundation.org.

Please note: You will be asked to attend an Information Session on either Wed., August 26 or Thurs., August 27 from 4:00 – 5:30 pm at Every Voice’s office (2851 N. Country Club Rd.) where you will meet Crew members and learn more about the program.
