1. Student Engagement Opportunity
The MN Prevention Program Sharing Conference takes place annually in October, and is Minnesota’s only statewide conference focused on the primary prevention of substance misuse. The conference engages communities, coalitions, individuals, agencies & organizations doing prevention work around Minnesota. 2026 will mark the 52nd convening of the conference! Each year, a Youth Track is hosted on day one of the conference, October 13th. Youth Track attendees include high-school aged members or leaders of student groups or coalitions focused on substance use prevention among their peers. The youth track provides opportunities for students to learn from each other, share their work, network, and engage with professionals.
2. Looking For A Fun Rally Game?
Start Planning – August 15, 2026
At a recent conference, I attended a session on Rally Games. I am always looking to find ways to engage a larger group in an activity and I learned of one that has become a huge hit recently! Granny Pants! ( I call them Leadership Pants 😀 )
In this activity people must get the beach balls into their team’s Leadership pants. For pep Rallys you could randomly toss our the beach balls to the students in the stands and they could be teams by their sections. I have even done it where the person wearing the pants was blindfolded! They had to focus on the voices of their teammates. here.
High visibility, high energy and sooooo many laughs!
