Hello Fellows! Hello world!
This is a blog entry about your life. Let me explain:
I just started working in the Education and Leadership Department at YP4, and I am still trying to wrap my mind around the potential for connections with the amazing people and programs here. I am hoping to use this space to pass along what I'm learning about how all of the elements at YP4 are interconnected, and can help us in our goal of sustaining and supporting ourselves and one another.

The Crap that Led Us to the Progressive Movement: Lessons Learned from Leadership Academy Day 1
After a 6 hour flight from San Francisco to New York, two train rides, and 45 minutes in a van, my fellow Leadership Academy participants and I arrived to our retreat center in West Cornwall, CT. To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect from both the location and most especially, the participants. Prior to the Academy, I had no idea West Cornwall even existed, but now, am SO thrilled our first retreat took place here-- I'll explain later. But, what about the other participants? I read their bios prior to our first retreat and was honored to be part of a "Superstar" team, but to what extent would I be able to relate to them?
