MAPS stands for Management + Assessment + Planning = Success!

It is all about team. During MAPS: Youth Team Experience, we focus on communication, planning /calendars, getting to know each other, setting your intentions for the year, assessing the past year and planning for the future they want to build and their responsibility to make that happen, etc.

Each year, around this time, we are asked by FFA Advisors if we would consider doing a 1 Day MAPS before or after the session of COLT they attend. Last year, we rolled out a 1 day MAPS. It worked out well and partned well with the training teams received at COLT. We will be offering this opportunity again this year.

MAPS: Youth Team Experience will begin the morning before your COLT Session begins or after your COLT Session has concluded at 8:00 a.m. at Espressions: Coffee & Connection. Your team will spend an intense day focusing on a rigorous schedule that will include team bonding, event planning, and more. Your registration will include light morning pastries, lunch, and beverages. Our coffee shop will also be open. We will conclude promptly at 4 p.m.

Registration closes 10 days before event. $35.00 of your registration is non-refundable. No refunds will be issued 10 or less days before conference begins.

Conference Fee: $75.00

In order to register for this special MAPS, please call Maile at 402-694-3934 or email her at maile@tlcaurora.org
