Diverse individuals are invited to apply for a chance to present a literacies-focused program at YALSA’s 2019 YA Services Symposium in Memphis, TN. This year's theme? Show Up and Advocate: Supporting Teens in the Face of Adversity.
The program will take place on Sunday, Nov. 3rd. If selected, the recipient must become a YALSA/ALA member and will be provided $1,500 to offset that cost, as well as registration, travel, lodging, and meal expenses at the symposium.
With this opportunity, YALSA hopes to create a more just and equitable symposium by providing more professional opportunities for diverse individuals from underrepresented populations, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, language, culture, national origin, age, disability status, ideology, religion, power differentiated groups and professional skills.
Only one session proposal per person will be accepted. Literacies, as defined by YALSA, extends beyond traditional literacy and includes, but is not limited to visual, digital, textual and technology literacy or serving underserved teens.
Funds for the stipend are generously provided by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.
Learn more and apply by August 1.
