| BYOP develops leaders and organizers for social change by training them on different issues that they need to become responsible and aware human beings. |
Overnight Summits
 For the past few years, BYOP has sponsored overnight training summits for its members in the fall and/or spring of each school year. Members have an opportunity to be trained in topics such as organzing, leadership, campaigns and action, and gain valuable skills that can be utilized in BYOP's campaigns. Full of fun activities like ropes course and other team building games, a campfire, and lots of bonding between chapters, these summits are always a BYOP favorite! Look for the next BYOP summit in early spring 2004! |
City-wide Meetings
Every week, BYOP holds meetings in the office to train the members and equip them with information they need to lead their school chapters. The meetings are planned and led by members of the youth council. The city-wide meetings also provide each BYOP chapter to update members of other chapters on the happenings of their chapter campaigns. |
Summer Training Institute
 The Summer Training Institute, or STI, was launched in the summer of 2001, and has become an annual tradition within BYOP. For 3 weeks in July, young people attend evening training sessions that are led by experienced BYOP members. Trainings in the past have included topics such as diversity, power and oppression, creative expression, campaigns, action, and conflict resolution. In addition, STI Friday's are Action Days, when the youth hit the streets or City Council offices to make their concerns known, and to build support! Top it all off with a couple of trips to various places with in Boston, and you have a fun and inspiring way to spend your summer break! |
