The Journey Navigators Overview

The Journey Navigators are a group of 10 distinguished Indiana youth workers and leaders in the field of youth development. They will be journeying here June 9 to 12 to learn from and share with Bay Area youth workers. They are our guests of honor and the inspiration for crafting this Extravaganza.

Jason Wyman, Program Manager of YDPN, recently went to Indiana to meet with the group. Here is a snippet of his experiences:

I am on the plane back from Indiana listening to Damien Rice and reflecting on my experiences over the last week, specifically over the last 36 hours. It has been a whirlwind of activity: Youth Worker Brown Bags, Financial Literacy 101 for Youth Workers presented by Y-TEP, Community Conversations, We Are Youth Workers Steering Committee meeting, and the fantastic time spent with The Navigators, a group of youth worker fellows in Indiana. Tomorrow I spend the day with Steering Committee members doing arts-based practice to help think really big about the YDPN, and I am on the verge of tears. I am amazed by youth workers. I am amazed by their resiliency, candor, passion, critical thought and lives. I am overwhelmed by how much they do given everything that surrounds them and all of the roadblocks, both internally and externally, that lay on their path.
