You up for the challenge?

 

I know we haven’t even left yet for Youth Tour, but let’s talk about when we get back! We’ve got a challenge for you!

Challenge: Besides thanking your cooperative for investing in you and sending you to DC, we’d like for each student to schedule a meeting with their cooperative after the trip. It could be with the Youth Tour Coordinator, Manager or even a member of the board. Simply sit down and have a conversation.

How does this work? Contact the person at the cooperative that you worked with on your Youth Tour application. Tell them you want to schedule a meeting.

Show up for the meeting. On time. Be polite. Business casual attire. After THANKING them for sending you on YT and taking this meeting, have a few questions ready to start the conversation. Can be things like:

1.       I’m curious, how can we get youth more involved with the co-op?

2.       Does the cooperative offer internship programs and possible future employment?

3.       How does the cooperative attract board members/employees?

Be prepared with ideas on how to better promote the Youth Tour program.

The meeting will probably be 30 minutes or less.

Thank them for their time.

I’ll have a form for you to fill out and return to me.

It’s worth it! Everyone that does this assignment, will get their name put into a drawing. One person will win a $100 American Express gift card, 2 people will win a $50 American Express gift cards and 4 will win a $25 American Express gift cards.

I’m looking forward to hearing about your meetings!
