Calling for Debaters to Volunteer for the Pape Adolescent Resource Centre (PARC) Outreach Event

Also from your Outreach Director:

Location
The Pape Adolescent Resource Centre (PARC) is in Toronto (East York), near the Pape station (5 stations away eastward from Bloor-Yonge).

Program Description
The youth group called Network at the PARC is "an advocacy group which gives youth the opportunity and encouragement to speak out about their experiences in care (of the Children's Aid Society), and to 'give back' (to younger youth) and work for positive change within the child welfare system. Some members have participated in other groups at PARC, and have brought those skills to the Network Group. Most of the members are already living on their own in the community, so are further along the spectrum of independence." The group is interested in inviting Hart House debaters to show its members how to debate.

Duration/Time
Any one Wednesday at 6:00 PM, or possibly at 7:00 PM if that time is preferrable to debaters, in June or July. The schedule may be adjusted if there is no feasible time for enough number of debaters. If you are interested, tell me on which Wednesday evening you are free in June and July (or suggest any other time if you are highly interested but not available on Wednesday). I am expecting commitment of 2 hours, not counting the travel time.

Debaters Needed
I am looking for 4 debaters who can do a show debate and possibly 1 more who can act as a speaker. I am expecting at least one of these volunteers would do a basic seminar on how to debate.

Miscellaneous Details
1. Subway tokens for round trip will be provided upon request.
2. Currently, this is expected to be an outreach event and not a larger-scale program. If anyone wishes to expand this event and create an outreach program out of it (and commit enough time to become the outreach program director), please contact me so I can ask whether the group is interested in doing so.

Contact
If you are interested or just have a question, please contact Byoungjun Park at (byoung.park@utoronto.ca). You can also contact me in person at any Debating Club meeting I am present or in the CUSIDnet.
