The Youth Got Talent Committee of Gethsemane Missionary Baptist Church (GMBC) invite you to attend our Youth Got Talent (YGT):“Stirring Up The Gifts” Youth Summit. It is scheduled to take place on (Saturday) May 21, 2016 (1:00 P.M.–3:00 P.M) at GMBC, 771 Fairmount Place, Bronx, N.Y. 10460; Reverend Dr. Torrence Robinson, Pastor.
The event is purposed to engage, motivate, challenge, and empower youth age 5 -25 years old to think and act positively towards making healthy life choices; to make their dream of success reality.
The YGT Committee and Panelists will encourage and assist the youth to use their imagination, competitive edge, energy, talent, and creativity to participate in meaningful dialogue and strategic exercises to promote relational health development, effective dialogue, team building, and creative art performances. There will also be performances by youth whom auditioned last quarter for our annual YGT Competition & Show (which has been modified this year).
The desired outcomes of summit are for youth to:
- Improve their level of communication with peers and adults;
- Identify and develop leaders;
- Assess their level of endurance, self control and time management;
- Improve their ability to move beyond their current comfort levels and familiar groups to establish healthy and productive relationships through the use of their identified/unidentified gift, talent, and ability;
- Improve their awareness of their strengths and self worth as a resource beneficial towards the growth and development of their family and community at large: socially, physically, emotionally, spiritually and economically. Also increase positive insight regarding their peers;
