There are two upcoming seminars which will be helpful for youth parents and youth volunteers.

The College Transition:
Your purpose, your faith, and your community |
 March 20, 2011: 2pm-5pm The State Museum of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg Pre-registration: $10 student/$20 max family · All seats at door (if available): $15 per person Register online |
This seminar is designed for college-bound high school students (9th-12th) and their parents and will address the transition from high school to college. This multimedia seminar is engaging, interactive, and challenges teenagers and parents to think deeply about the most crucial questions to ask before entering college. Designed to focus on the unique pressures and influences students face in higher education, this seminar and related support materials will help students and parents better understand and prepare to face these pressures and challenges from a distinctively Christian perspective. Youth leaders and Christian School teachers are also highly encouraged to attend.  Derek Melleby is the Director of the College Transition Initiative at CPYU and the Coalition for Christian Outreach. He is the author of the just released book, Make College Count: A Faithful Guide to Life and Learning and co- author of The Outrageous Idea of Academic Faithfulness. His seminars have been presented across the country to students, parents, educators and pastors.
