About this Event
For children and adults alike, play illuminates the path toward social competency. But in a world filled with challenges that are more conducive to physical, social, and emotional harm than playfulness, play can feel like a waste of time. However, in the context of mentoring, joyful experiences enhance mental wellness and foster stronger youth-adult partnerships that can inspire a greater connection to the values and goals that make our lives meaningful.
In Building Relationships Through Collaboration and Play, the 2024 Carolinas Youth Mentoring Symposium will explore how the power of play can be leveraged to strengthen adult-youth mentoring relationships, foster cooperative group dynamics across youth-serving organizations, and form bridges that transcend differences, laying a solid foundation to foster optimism and hope for addressing some of society’s most pressing issues.
