I am working with our local genealogical society to put on two Youth Family History Discovery Workshops this Christmas break. This will be a virtual workshop held in Zoom. Day one consists of learning about newspaper research and Day 2 is about census research. We have fun activities planned and will help the youth discover interesting facts about their ancestors' lives.

Let me know if you have any similar projects or fun ideas that we can include in the program We are limiting the activity to 12-15 youth each week and hopefully will have youth sign up over the next couple weeks.

@Miles A Meyer This is an absolutely wonderful idea for the youth over the Christmas break. Such great skills for them to learn for the youth, and a great way for societies to reach out to the younger generation. Thank you for sharing this! So glad that Kiera is working on this too. I see you already put this in the Engaging Youth in Family History group. Great thinking.

How did the class go? I almost signed my son up for it but wanted to join him in it and it turned out I couldn't do it either day....

The class went well. We didn't have that many attend but we were able to give each attendee personal attention and help them discover things about their ancestors. We recorded the sessions and have them on YouTube for them to go back and view later. I was thinking about potentially compressing the information and maybe submitting a short video at RootsTech as an example of youth and community outreach.

That's fun. I think it would be great to have it as a Doing Good Together idea! How to reach out to the youth in your local community....
