Teen Institute Conference

Four Teen Institute (TI) students represented Tully at the four-day annual TI Conference in Penn Yan in early November where they learned about leadership skills, coping skills, and media literacy. Back in May, we shared that Elaina Iozzo applied and was chosen to be a TI youth staff member for this conference. She attended a training at the end of summer to prepare for the conference and then helped lead discussions and “family group time” while there. In addition, three new members, Bryce Keller, Rowan Usherwood, and Molly Verbanic, signed up to attend as youth members. While there, Bryce was awarded the Paul Noyd Award. Noyd was a Tully alumni and long-time adult TI staff member. After his passing, two students have been chosen for this award each year in his honor, representing someone with the same caring qualities. We are proud of these students as they all represented Tully well in their endeavors to become peer leaders.
