Greetings!
This is our sixth annual Youth Development Master's Institute and like its predecessors it is destined to be a truly remarkable experience. To begin, this year we welcome Arizona State University's School of Community Resources and Development as on of our co-sponsors. Additionally, we have officially changed our title from a national event to an international institute by welcoming the Alberta Parks & Recreation Association as a sponsor. ARPA is a key partner with Kids at Hope and is leading our Canadian initiative. Throughout the week both co-sponsors will share their expertise related to building a community that supports the success of all children, No Exceptions! We are looking forward to welcoming the Master's Class of 2011.
Sincerely, Rick Miller Dean, International Youth Development Master's Institute & Founder and President of Kids at Hope |
