Hello New Pros,
Janet and I have just returned (along with our new “Joy”, Lindsey) from a retreat with our Executive fellows. We were at Country Lakes, where our first retreat was held. It was a great retreat, and has us thinking about OUR upcoming time together.
Whew! There sure seems to be a lot of change within the group: new places, new jobs, new travels etc. This retreat will give us a chance to do a couple of things: (1) take a breather together and reflect on all that has been happening within our group and (2) understand more deeply the youth work that is integral to our juvenile justice system in Indiana.
So for now, here are some of the details you’ll need.
