🌞😎 Last meetup before summer break! 🌞😎
This is our last meetup before summer break! 🌞
This is an opportunity for us to reflect on what we have learned during our leadership sessions, to share insights, ask questions and share more about ourselves. Since we have had new teens join us along the way, we will be doing a short presentation about ourselves, to learn more about the interesting things that make each of us unique.
We are all here to learn from each other, have fun and build meaningful connections!
