Event #2 Open House

November 8, 2014 was when the open house event took pace. It took place in the Murray center and to be honest this was my first time ever going. I had never gone or been to an open house in my life before. For me I thought there was a lot of people and it looked pretty full and great but then while talking to the other youth development members, they told me that this was not as packed as other years and that baffled me. But there was definately a lot going on, we had tours and different lectures on the different programs ric offer. Even I was able to to speak about Youth development in one of the lectures which was awesome. This helped me to practice my elevator speech and the fact that we had practiced it a few weeks before really did help. I was able to draw what i needed to talk about and the important points and facts i felt were really needed to exaplain our program.

At first we had a small space on the table that was shared with education. At first it felt pretty crowded, there were so many of us and there really wasn't enough space, but once we got out own table I felt as if things had changed and we were able to be out there. I also felt that because we had our table many people seemed interested, because they wanted to know what youth development is all about and what we did. It was create trying to recruit people and telling them about our amazing program. There were so many booths out there and we definitely did our best in trying to get people to learn more about youth development. I felt that out of all the programs out there Youth development and Biology were two groups that really had a good presence in the room.
