Teens will Address the Stress at Mayor’s Conference
STOCKTON – Stockton teens are welcome to spend the day finding out how to lower their stress levels at the 2008 Mayor’s Teen Conference Saturday, April 12 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Podesto IMPACT Teen Center, 725 N. El Dorado (one block north of the Cesar Chavez Library).
Host Mayor Ed Chavez will be joined by several guests at this free event themed “Address the Stress.” Tony Washington, Public Relations Manager at the Family Resource and Referral Center and Apollo Night producer, will motivate teens with a session called “Serving your community: being young, talented and a leader.”
Workshop sessions focusing on academic, emotional and physical stress will be facilitated by guidance counselors, instructors from Delta College, Point Break and Peacekeepers, fitness experts and personal trainers. Teen participants will talk out the physical, academic and emotional stressors that they face and work with facilitators to identify some solutions that can help Stockton teens in everyday life.
During lunch, teens can sign up for Apollo Night auditions and visit vendor booths from local colleges and technical schools.
The conference is free; lunch will be provided and the day ends with an optional dance from 4 to 7 p.m.
Many teachers may give extra credit for conference attendance. Check at individual school sites. Registration forms are available at city community centers, library and local schools. Registration forms may also be downloaded at www.stocktongov.com/teens. Sign up in advance or register on-site.
