The schedule for the Kids’ Track at the Allied Media Conference is just about finished and it is now time for me to ask all of YOU (and your friends and your friends’ friends and any other generally wonderful people who like working with youth) for help!
As you may or may not know, the Kids’ Track is a children-centered space at the Allied Media Conference which recognizes kids as media makers by providing them with the skills to create media work influenced by their own points of view. The Kids’ Track aims to help create an intergenerational atmosphere at the AMC by linking children with the work of the Youth Media Track and the INCITE!, Media & Education, How-to and Media Policy tracks. Finally, by providing childcare during non-session times, the Kids’ Track will enable the participation of parents in the Allied Media Conference.
The AMC has hired an AMAZING Childcare Professional who will be with participants for the weekend and I’ll be there the entire time too. However, to best provide for Kids’ Track participants and their parents, we NEED volunteers, especially during lunch caucuses, dinner caucuses and evening events.
If you are interested in helping out, or know someone who might be, please contact me at katie(at)alliedmediaconference(dot)org. I had a wonderful time at the Kids’ Track last year, and I can assure you that if you volunteer, you will have a GREAT time – the kids who attended last year were smart, hilarious and sweet – and I know that at least some of them will be back this year! Please check out the times listed below for an idea of when we will be most in need of volunteers:
FRIDAY:
Lunch – 12:15PM – 2:00PM
Dinner – 7:30PM – 9:30PM
