Our youth members attend conferences and workshops, sit on advisory boards, and
participate in decision making meetings which usually included adults
only. Our methods for getting out our information include using skits and
role plays, giving formal presentations, and involving our audience members in
interactive games or what we call pro-social activities. If you are
