SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn with MMP - Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Lunch & Learn Sessions – meet the third Tuesday of each month. The event may take the form of networking\, a time to get deeper in conversation with others who value and support mentoring relationships or they may offer short spurts of information on updated research\, happenings and/or tools. We welcome you as often as you can join us. \n  \nThe purpose of this session is to demystify the process by which state government functions and to encourage civic participation by programs and their participants. MMP’s Advocacy session supports individuals to develop their personal policy and advocacy skills to become more civically engaged citizens and effective advocates for the issues they care about. This session is a free skill and professional development opportunity open to anyone interested in attending. While the session is tailored to programs that support mentoring relationships\, the skills and issues covered in this training can be applied universally to educate\, advocate\, and effectively influence policymaking. \n  \nJoin us for an engaging discussion as we hear from two of our Mentoring Matching Grants recipients as they share their experiences as youth advocates. They will discuss the importance of advocacy for mentoring programs at the state level alongside one of the most influential lobbyists in the state on behalf of the Charles Group Lobbying Firm. \n  \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn with MMP - SEL ≠ Behavior Management
DESCRIPTION:Mar. 19 SEL ≠ Behavior Management \nDuring our training and conversations about social and emotional learning\, we often run out of time to talk about the nuances of the benefits and potential harms that SEL can cause when implemented without an antiracist\, critical lens. For this Lunch and Learn\, we’ll have a brief but insightful discussion about how institutions can at times use SEL for compliance and over-policing the behavior of young people. Our discussion will include resources from writers and educators such as Dena Simmons\, Alex Shevrin-Venet\, James Comer\, Lorena German\, Paul Gorski\, and more. We’ll also touch on why SEL is under fire in conservative states\, and hear from a local Boston researcher and practitioner\, Matthew Attaya\, on why we must act to protect the right to teach social and emotional learning skills in and out of school time. \n  \nLunch & Learn Sessions – meet the third Tuesday of each month. The event may take the form of networking\, a time to get deeper in conversation with others who value and support mentoring relationships or they may offer short spurts of information on updated research\, happenings and/or tools.
