Pink Time Ideas

The idea of Pink Time is a a new addition to the AEE course this year. Students are allotted 5 class periods to go out and learn about youth development in a way of their choosing! During our second class the students shared ideas about their ideas of pink time. 

In deciding on what activity to engage in, remember, "How do we tie these activities to youth development?" here are some ideas to get the ball rolling:

1. Local fair
Ex: Asking questions or observing a coordinator or auctioneer

2. Volunteering for youth development

3. Prepare for Agricultural Career Day

4. Learning a new language

Ex: Go online and download the Spanish FFA manual and learn the creed in Spanish

5. Volunteer with youth football

Ex: Interview, develop a practice, etc.

6. Observe a class

7. Visit a different FFA program each pink time

8. Sustainable food initiative (New initiative on campus)

9. Work on youth internship

10. Visit PSU research centers and farms

11. Get involved in a boy scout troop

12. LifeLink PSU (http://lifelinkpsu.weebly.com/)

13. Serve at an animal shelter

Each of these ideas were shared out in class today, but we are not limited to just these 13! My advice is to set a goal of what you want to accomplish before the first pink time, develop a plan, contact who you need to, and after each pink time reflect on your activity.
