Description

PAAC is hosting a county-wide Be The Change Youth Rally on September 23, 2022 at Heritage Hall from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM for students at all four county districts. Students will be able to enjoy a live DJ, bounce houses, and a National Guard physical activity with free lunch and swag materials. The featured speaker is Ty Sells from Youth to Youth International, an organization that engages young people through meaningful activities and experiences to develop and implement their own ideas to create positive change. Ty also had three children who graduated from Teays Valley a few years ago. Two presentations are scheduled, ‘Finding Hope’ and ‘Clear The Air’. Finding Hope - The feeling of loss of control is something we all deal with from time to time. It can be frightening and overwhelming, but there is hope. By accepting what you can’t control, learning to manage your attitude and response, and seeking authentic positivity to bring life into balance, you can directly impact the outcome for the better. Learn how mastering your response in difficult situations builds trust that in turn improves your life, relationships, and overall mental health. Clear The Air - Marijuana use is on the rise with high school students across the United States. This increase is often attributed to a lowered perception of risk. Young people think smoking pot is “no big deal” or even “safe”. Much of what they believe is based on myths and organized talking points they have heard from their friends, pro-legalization forces, and even the media. A conversation that is free of preaching and politics, but full of the relevant facts to assist youth in making their own healthier decisions.
