Power Up Pop-Ups Virtual (Mini) Conference - Last Chance


UW-Madison iSchool Dept of Continuing Education's biennial conference on Youth Services Leadership Conference for Staff and Managers is coming up next week and there is still time to register. Registration is on a sliding fee scale so it can be affordable to all.

Entitled "2022 Power Up Pop-Ups", the conference went virtual this year because of pandemic concerns. They changed the format to one or two hour-long sessions a day beginning the week of Feb 21 to allow people to dive in a bit each day. Eight of the sessions run during lunch at noon CST and the other four run at 10am.

The twelve sessions from national and state speakers delve into handling material challenges; coaching staff to greatness; having difficult conversations; social justice programming; successful partnership programs for teens; learning about APIA rubric for evaluating representation in children's literature; service adaptations during COVID; YALSA research roundup collaboration; learning judgement-free language; yoga programming and a final keynote. The conference sessions begin Tuesday, Feb 22 and continue through Friday March 4. All sessions will be recorded.
