CONFERENCE ENDS
The conference workshops will focus on the five major topics being addressed by NLC's Institute for
Youth, Education, and Families and on some of the crosscutting themes that support individual program
efforts. The following are tentative workshop titles:
Education
• "Municipal government roles in enhancing education: Issues, examples, challenges"
• "Community schools: What are they and how can I get one?"
• "School reform: Roles for city leaders"
The safety and protection of children and youth
• "Preventing youth violence: Trends, strategies, and results"
• "Youth safety: Promoting community and police partnerships"
• "Neighborhood initiatives to protect children"
Youth development
• "After school initiatives: Expanding learning opportunities for your city's kids"
• "Using youth councils and youth leaders to build communities"
• "The asset development approach to strengthening our youth"
Child care and early childhood development
• "Access and affordability: How cities can meet child care needs"
• "Read to children: Open their minds"
• "Community mobilization for early childhood"
Family economic security
• "Revitalizing communities as centers of hope and opportunity"
• "Creating economic opportunities for low-income working families"
• "Welfare reform and the reauthorization of TANF: What it means for cities"
Cross cutting issues
• "Financing strategies to support local efforts for children and youth"
• "Collaboration: How to succeed, avoid pitfalls, and maintain momentum"
• "Strategic, high-leverage investments that produce positive outcomes"
Teams of key municipal and community leaders will participate together. You and your team
will work during the conference to translate emerging ideas into action when you return
home. You'll leave prepared to start implementing a plan to strengthen families in your city.
Who should be on your team? That's up to you. Our experience suggests that a team of 5-8
individuals is best. In addition to the mayor or a council member, the team could include
municipal leaders responsible for parks and recreation, health, libraries, schools, public
safety, housing, or community development as well as key non-government leaders from
business, neighborhood organizations, religious groups, and private service delivery
agencies. Parents and youth are also effective team members.
Note that the registration fee per individual is lower when you participate in the conference
as a team of four or more.
Coming without a team? Individuals are welcome, too. We'll help you identify the players
and strategies for your city so you'll be ready to start the moment you return home.
Recruit a team from your community to attend this action-packed conference!
