Michigan State University Extension to host listening sessions for children and youth programming

Michigan’s children, youth, families and communities are facing unprecedented challenges as a result of COVID-19 pandemic. These challenges vary widely and are influenced greatly by geography, economic status, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and many other factors.
In order to best understand these challenges and how we can effectively support them, Michigan State University Extension is launching a series of listening sessions. Michigan children, youth and those who support them, including parents and caregivers, as well as agencies and other organizations, are encouraged to join these sessions and share their thoughts. Information collected will be used to adapt existing programming, or develop new educational programming, to address the critical needs of our communities.
Please register for one or more of our listening sessions at https://events.anr.msu.edu/listening/
Most of the sessions will have an area of focus in an effort to solicit feedback from specific targeted groups for MSU Extension programming. Though we hope to hear from youth and individuals who support those areas and demographics, all are welcome to attend any session. 

 If you do not have internet access, you can attend sessions by calling 1-646-876-9923 and entering the meeting code 934 2458 8739 when prompted.
We prefer participants to attend one of our live listening sessions, but if that cannot be accommodated, they can click here to access similar questions and provide input.
