2010 Action Plans: Family Life Group

At the EYL Training Camps in Kerrville and San Angelo, TX, over 250 youth created 28 action plans to take back to their schools and communities. These action plans concentrated on bettering their schools and/or communities by concentrating on issues of parents providing alcohol to minors, reducing smokeless tobacco use by high school students, drug and alcohol use and attitudes, bullying, underage drinking and substance abuse, inappropriate touching/ PDA, youth lack of awareness of issues, youth safety issues, texting and driving, giving backpacks and schools supplies to youth, risky behaviors, anger and violence, gossiping, and community adult involvement in youth.

And already the youth are finding success in completing their action plans…

“Hey Brent, I just wanted to thank you again for the backpacks you gave us. We had the giveaway last week and it was absolutely phenomenal. Along with giving away the backpacks filled with school supplies we fed over 300 people, provided different sessions on parenting, managing finances and other skills. On top of all that we sent all the family’s home with huge boxes filled with food. It was a great night for our group and our community and EYL had a very instrumental part in our success. Some people say that teenagers cannot change the world, but with your help we are proving them wrong. I just wanted you to know that EYL is more than just a one week experience for Family Life and that we are hard at work making our community better….”  -A.D.
