Join us for an interactive network meeting where we will explore key communication strategies to enhance teamwork and family engagement. This session will focus on improving both internal team communication and communication with families, helping you strengthen your program’s operations and outreach.
By the end of the meeting we hope you will leave with practical tools, new communication strategies, and ideas to help you and your team work more efficiently while fostering stronger connections with families.
When: Wednesday, February 5th, 10am-12pm
Where: YMCA, 820 Mass. Ave, Cambridge
We also look forward to Vanessa joining us for her first Network Meeting as MSN Coordinator!:
"I am excited to learn more about the incredible opportunities your programs provide for middle school youth. My goal is to explore how we can ensure that our priority youth have access to these resources and the support they need to thrive. In addition to seeing and connecting with you at our Network meetings and events, I believe one great way to achieve this is by visiting your site. My plan is to reach out to find a time that's good for you when I can come by your program to see, engage, learn, and better understand how we can collaborate to make a meaningful impact."
