Visions -2002 August Summer Retreat- |
|
The Process: This happened in the afternoon after much discussion of CAPAY’s strengths and challenges. We divided up into groups (mixed with youth, adults, and alumni) after coming up with these visions. The groups were mixed, and we were given a Strategic Planning table to use to flesh out the visions by coming up with goals and next steps to accomplish the goals.
VISION 1: (Re)Define Youth Run/Youth-Led
What does this mean?
Defining Employer/Employee relationship between Steering Committee and Coordinator.
Seeing what part adult and alumni play as well.
Goal 1: Understand the situation.
Goal 2: Come up with ideas to resolve.
Goal 3: Mtg between YouthLearn + Steering Committee + adults + alumni (a few reps from each group).

Next Steps:
Vision 4 can be left up to alumni-a group of them met at the retreat and a few core members resolved to work on this issue.
Need to prioritize the remaining three and figure out how to achieve these visions.
Will need to check in periodically to see how we are progressing and whether we want to change things.
Who’s responsible for the steps?
