African American Achievement Summit 2020 Workshop Proposal-April 10, 2020 9am-2pm
The African American Achievement Summit Planning Team is pleased to invite you to present at our 3rd Annual African American Achievement Summit. This year's Summit will be hosted at San Diego Mesa College, from 9am - 2pm on Friday April 10, 2020. To be considered, your workshop proposal must be submitted by Friday, February 21st.
San Diego Unified School District is expecting more than 500 High School Juniors to engage in a day of learning, creating, networking, and empowerment-building. Proposals that feature interactive components to engage students in ACTION and DIALOGUE around identity and post-secondary opportunities through the AFRICAN AMERICAN LENS are highly encouraged. Students in attendance will be 16-18 years old.
We are looking for workshops that specifically address: a) African American Identity; b) Help students maximize their sense of Agency and take control over their own lives; c) Connect students to Post-Secondary information for College Access and Meaningful Careers. Youth leaders will review all proposals and select the most compelling ideas/workshops.
NOTE: Each workshop session is approximately 50-55 minutes. You will be assigned a room and repeat your workshop preferably up to three times to three different groups of students. You may present fewer workshops as your availability allows; however priority status will be given to presenters who are able to present at all 3 workshops. Class size for presentations will be approximately 35-40 students per room. Please see suggested topics for possible workshops below.
With much appreciation,
African American Achievement Summit
