Live Life Well Week: Being T.H.E.R.E. – Five Ways to Engage Young People

Wanting to connect with your young people? You’re not alone! In 2013, according to a Microsoft study on “The Effects of Today’s Digital World,” the attention span of the average American was less than that of a goldfish. With the onslaught of smart phones, social media and reality TV, connecting with young people is becoming more competitive. In BEING T.H.E.R.E., Shaun Derik explores 5 Ways to Actively Engage the Young People you serve. Through rhythm, humor and heavy audience participation, Shaun helps adults learn to be sincere, direct and present when working with, loving and caring for today’s youth.
