Kali Fedenko rehearse a skit Saturday as part of a Speak Out for
Military Kids training session.
SOMK is a community service opportunity for the Wisconsin OMK
State Team to train military and non-military youth to establish
Speakers Bureaus to advocate for military-connected youth affected
by the Global War on Terrorism.
The expected Outcomes for SOMK are:
- Raise community awareness of issues faced by geographically dispersed
military children and youth
- Foster community support for the sacrifices military families
make
- Youth acquire knowledge and skills in developing creative and
informative presentations using a variety of different media
- Youth gain leadership, research, organization, & public
speaking skills
