Student Strand Presenters

I'm Determined

VCU students, professionals in education, and family members join us as we lead you through how to Put a New “SPIN” on self-awareness. Self-awareness is about understanding your individual Strengths, Preferences, Interests, and Needs. The more you know about yourself, the better equipped you are with navigating through life and school. Hear from our I’m Determined Youth Leaders as they share their journeys in self-determination that have helped them to be successful in school and the community. In this strand, participants will engage in interactive activities to support self-determination and increased self-awareness with students of all ages and abilities.
