We'll be adding to it over time, so be sure to come back and see what we've been up to. If you have any pictures you would like to contribute please contact Chelsie.
You can find the album here.

So, now that you've talked to your middle school participant or high school staff (or both!) and have discovered their new-found passion for Youth to Youth, its time to figure out what both of you can do to get more involved.
For Middle School Students
- 6-8th graders: Attend Y2Y conferences in San Ramon and Castro Valley (coming up in April!).
- 8th grade only: Attend weekly CAB meetings at Iron Horse Middle School.
For High School Students
All High school students:
- Attend CAB meetings at Iron Horse Middle School
- Attend Western States Conference (more info at CAB meetings)
- Staff the Western States Conference
- Attend and staff other state conferences (info at CAB meetings)
- Help organize and coordinate the San Ramon conference (at CAB meetings)
For Relatives, Advisors, and the Community at Large
- Volunteer to help with CASA events like the San Ramon Y2Y Conference. (Contact CASA)
- Encourage youth to attend and participate in Y2Y events like CAB or the Y2Y Conference.

The Youth to Youth Conference for 2009 is now over but it has certainly not passed. If you're like most people who have youth who participated or staffed in our annual event this weekend then you certainly know that it is still fresh in their minds. As parents, what needs to happen now? What can you do to take this wonderful experience to the next level? We've put together a few articles to help you process through the conference as a whole, with your student. This will hopefully help give you an idea about what happened during your student's day and give you some more insight into what happened during the conference as a whole.
Articles:
Processing with Participants (Middle School)
Processing with Youth Staff (High School)
Where can I get more involved? Where can we go from here? What now?

The Community Advisory Board might sound like a dull place where students sit around a large oak table reading facts about drug use with a leader using a wooden mallet, but is lacks this formality. CAB, as the students call it, is a place where peers can come together and have fun. They play games, learn information, plan conferences, and even get some important work done. The meeting is mostly facilitated by older students that have graduated from the program.
They plan weekly meetings where teenagers from the San Ramon Valley can be a support for eachother as they stand up for their values. Kim Gallagher, the Program Director, has been helping with the program for as long as anyone can remember and the kids still love her.
Many have come and gone through the program, but all can recall the memories of energizers, crazy games, discussions, and the friends. The Iron Horse Middle School cafeteria houses the hundreds of kids during the day, but on Tuesday nights it transforms into a place where kids can come and be themselves away from the judging and pressures of high school.
