Fostering Youth Empowerment in Nicaragua
This past December, F2F volunteer, Melanie
Forstrom traveled to Nicaragua, where she conducted interactive workshops for Junior Achievement Nicaragua (JA) facilitators
and trainers to improve educational processes and teaching methodologies. JA is a
non-profit educational organization that is present in more than 120 countries. The goal of the organization is to promote economic education from an early age and empower young leaders to be proactive in their own development, both personally and professionally. It implements business education
programs aimed at children and adolescents, young women, and female heads of
household.
Melanie Forstom earned her Master’s degree in Conflict Transformation from the School for International Training and has spent countless years working with at-risk youth in a variety of different locations and programs throughout the United States. She currently leads youth development programming in Ulster Country through the Cornell Cooperative Extension’s 4-H Youth Development Program.
The experiential learning method is renowned for being effective in youth engagement programs and avidly used by Melanie in her 4-H programs. Melanie demonstrated her teaching method by directly engaging with facilitators, trainers and participants to integrate this teaching method in a variety of activities and games. This style of teaching entails engaging in an activity and then asking reflective questions to speak about the skills that were applied during the activity.
Junior Achievement Supervisor, Ana Carolina, was a vital workshop participant as she is equipped with invaluable
observation tools to ensure that facilitators are as efficient as
possible during programs. Melanie created activity and program manuals in Spanish that facilitators can use to ensure the utmost preparedness.
In the next few months, Partners' Farmer-to-Farmer program will continue working with JA to build on Melanie's assistance and help the organization continue to strengthen their youth empowerment and entrepreneurship programs.

ReplyDeleteHola chicos, estoy tan feliz que recibà la mÃa de Mike Fisher. Mi tarjeta de cajero automático en blanco puede retirar $ 2,000 por dÃa. Lo obtuve de Ella la semana pasada y ahora tengo $ 14,000 gratis. El cajero automático en blanco retira el dinero de los cajeros automáticos y no tiene nombre, no se puede rastrear y ahora tengo dinero para el negocio y suficiente dinero para que yo y mi familia vivamos. Estoy muy feliz de haber conocido a Mike Fisher porque Conocà a dos personas antes que ella y se llevaron mi dinero sin saber que eran estafas. Pero ahora estoy feliz. Mike Fisher envió la tarjeta a través de DHL y la recibà en dos dÃas. Obtenga su propia tarjeta de ella ahora que no es como otra estafadora que simula tener la tarjeta de cajero automático. Está entregándola gratis para ayudar a las personas, incluso si es ilegal, pero ayuda mucho y nadie es atrapado. Le agradezco a Mike Fisher porque de repente cambió mi historia. La tarjeta funciona en todos los paÃses excepto Mali y Nigeria. La dirección de correo electrónico de Mike Fisher es blankatm002@gmail.com
