  1. Draft Overview- for staff review - Overview of New Program Model February 2008

  2. Key decisions • Flexible model – franchisees, partners, and YV should all be able to run it successfully. • Model utilizes a senior “teacher” and many college-aged “educators” to run gatherings and the retreat. • Participants • Cohort-based model of 30 to 50 high-school aged youth focus is on the transformational journey of becoming a changemaker and launching a Venture. • Big tent outreach to many youth in the community through partners, youth-serving orgs, and schools. • Overall components of the model • Saturdays (10 gatherings) of approximately 3 hours of programming and additional time for one meal. • 6 prior to panel, including a multi-day retreat, to build community, develop skills and a Venture idea and prepare for panel. • 3 following panel to celebrate, provide post-launch support, and build fellowship • Youth will have ‘action items’ to complete in-between gatherings. • Panel is about transformation and Venture (will no longer be called “selection panel”). • There are additional roles for youth (e.g., recruiters, educators, peer-to-peer mentors). • Robust fellowship opportunities including a Venture fair, national gathering, and peer-to-peer mentoring will be offered. • The Action Plan will disappear into the model - the journey will help them devise a Venture.

Hold at community organizations and schools. • Day 1: youth commit, start to feel part of community and collective movement through icebreakers/team-building, have greater sense of self, understand historical underpinnings, learn YV rituals, define a small changemaker step • Day 2: youth begin to own the process, reflect on changemaker step, learn about community needs, explore and develop a Venture idea, learn the components of a strong team, brainstorm a changemaker to interview (in-person, online), find Team members and an Ally. • Day 3: youth deeply reflect on becoming a changemaker, start to see their idea flushed out, begin to anticipate challenges, and are inspired by the story of a Venture Alum, prepare for action steps. Ally training. • Retreat: integrate new team members, celebrate diversity in the cohort (deep bonding), see self as part of the global movement, youth feel more ownership through feedback opportunities, feel a strong sense of team, define success for their own Venture, can speak passionately about their Venture’s mission, FUN, Crying! • Day 5: reflection on retreat, feel a sense of a milestone passing, work through potential Venture challenges, feel a sense of the Venture idea finally coming together and begin to think about the Venture’s future. • Day 6: feel prepared for panel, youth develop local fellowship support, youth affirm each other. • Panel: youth share idea and personal transformation, receive helpful feedback and affirmation, milestone recognized. • Day 8: community celebrates work of the cohort, youth see self as deeply connected to the community and cohort, milestone! • Day 9: youth feel supported post-launch, opportunity to share successes and struggles, build skills, continue building fellowship. • Day 10: youth lead process for discussion-based skill building, get ready for Venture fair.
