Wanting to connect with your young people? You’re not alone! In 2013, according to a Microsoft study on “The Effects of Today’s Digital World,” the attention span of the average American was less than that of a goldfish. With the onslaught of smart phones, social media and reality TV, connecting with young people is becoming more competitive. In BEING T.H.E.R.E., Shaun Derik explores 5 Ways to Actively Engage the Young People you serve. Through rhythm, humor and heavy audience participation, Shaun helps adults learn to be sincere, direct and present when working with, loving and caring for today’s youth.

Affectionately known as “The Speaker for the Dreamer,” Shaun Derik’s expertise in effective youth engagement derives from his 10 years in youth development (R.E.A.C.H. Communications, Inc), 8 years in prevention (Youth to Youth International), and 5 years in philanthropic event planning. His most notable work has been in Character Development serving such worthy causes as The Mississippi Department of Education’s Drop Out Prevention program, Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York Youth Advocate team training, The National Police Activities League, and ABC Virginia’s Youth Alcohol and Drug Abuse Project. ‘s expertise in effective youth engagement derives from his 10 years in youth development (R.E.A.C.H.
