year for you, so we are offering many different ways to get involved,
get connected, and CELEBRATE! Check out www.ydpn.org for more info!
Here are a couple of our most recent and inspiring offerings:
A Day of Rejuvenation and Self Care CURRICULUM – Crafted with love by
Sangita Kumar, Margaret Bacon Schulze, Victoria Welle, and moi, A Day
of Rejuvenation and Self-Care is a three-hour workshop that youth
workers can do with their peers, youth, and families. It explores what
rejuvenation and self-care mean and how they show up in our lives

downloadable on www.ydpn.org.

Youth Worker Brown Bags: Community and Connectedness (April 27) –

session is to meet new people, have lively conversation and inspire
each other to think about youth work in a creative and supported
environment. Youth workers need to rely on their community network
for professional and personal support, funding, best practices and
organizational collaboration. That is why April’s Brown Bag Topic is
CONNECTEDNESS AND COMMUNITY.

Call for Nominations:
2009 MARIO SAVIO YOUNG ACTIVIST AWARD
The Board of Directors of the Mario Savio Memorial Lecture & Young
Activist Award invites you to nominate a candidate for the 12th Annual
Young Activist Award. The award this year carries a cash prize of
$6,000, divided equally between the prize-winner and his or her
organization.
This award is presented to a young person (or persons) with a deep
commitment to human rights and social justice and a proven ability to
transform this commitment into effective action. The nominees should
have demonstrated leadership ability, creativity and integrity.
Specific eligibility requirements are:
* Under age 26 by 9/1/09;
* Engaged in activism for social change, promoting the values of
peace, human rights, economic or social justice, or freedom of
expression;
* Acting within the context of an organization, social movement, or

in that context;

This award honors the late Mario Savio (1942-1996), who came to
national prominence as a spokesperson for the Berkeley Free Speech
Movement in 1964. His moral clarity, his eloquence, and his
democratic style of leadership impelled thousands of his fellow
Berkeley students to struggle for, and win, more political freedom,
inspiring a generation of student activism. Savio remained a lifelong
fighter for human rights and social justice.
