What is YSYP?
Your Story, Your Power (YSYP) is a restorative group program for youth ages 11-18! Youth are given the opportunity to explore power, impact, and decision making all while practicing healthy risk-taking and communication skills. The workshop is based in somatic, experiential learning and utilizes a positive youth development framework.
BRITE Collaborative offers this program in partnership with Mirror Image Arts (MIA), an art-based non-profit in Denver, Colorado.
The program is 8 hours and scheduled over two consecutive days.
Why YSYP?
The program aims to:
Provide youth with a pro-social, safe, community-based learning experience in order to support better decision-making in the future.
Explore/reflect/strengthen relationships: to themselves, to one another, and to the broader community by using theater exercises to explore decision making, impact, and harm.
Create opportunities for youth participants to meaningfully engage and lead programmatic elements.
