Youth Preparedness Events Toolkit

3.3 Action Planning

During the action planning segments of the agenda, students work with their respective teams to create a plan to increase preparedness at their school or within the community. Youth Mentors walk the teams through a series of team-building activities with each session to solidify the topic of discussion. During the closing session of camp, each team will present their plan to the entire group.
