Speech Topics

Creating Positive, Connected Schools: Energizing Learning Environments for Positive Outcomes

Designed for: schools—all levels, including universities

Living in a culture where schools are being asked to do more and more, what can schools do to become more caring and connected communities?

In this keynote or workshop discover how to begin to transform the school climate without adding more pressure to staff and students, how to create a common language so staff, parents, youth, and community can focus on what you really want, and learn what other schools are doing to think outside the box, while affirming all the great things you're already doing.

The result of this keynote/workshop is that staff come away powerfully affirmed and invigorated to create the type of school climate we all really want. It's highly recommended to have students, parents, and community members attend as well.

Stopping at Every Lemonade Stand: What We All Can Do to Create a Culture That Cares for Kids

Designed for: schools, business, government, community



Basing his approach upon six overlapping circles of community - our personal circle, families, neighborhoods, schools, larger communities, business/government and elders, he outlines simple actions that we can take that we can take wherever we are. His presentations are based on common sense, research, and the following facts:



--Our children and youth are in crisis

--Their situation is a symptom of a deeper problem: our kids are being

--raised in disconnected families, neighborhoods, and communities

--We can begin to reforge the bonds and restore our own backyards

--We possess the resources to do the job

--Everyone can participate



In this provocative presentation, Vollbracht outlines the five key threads

that need to be re-woven through our communities, the three key paradigm

shifts in thinking that need to occur, and as a past English teacher, he

hands out homework assignments for everyone to begin right away!

If you want your audience to come away excited about how to make a

difference right now, right where they are, you can start now.

Businesses Helping Community and Kids

Designed for: corporations, small businesses, government

Taking his message of purpose, passion and thoughtful action to businesses, James shares with businesses how to take an active role in transforming the youth culture in their communities. James presents simple, yet effective approaches to create a business culture that cares—one that makes a lasting impact by:

--sponsoring school-wide or organizational-wide youth empowerment training
--identifying outreach teams that would help target youth organizations, schools and community youth centers, helping the kids and adults transform their environment into one that thrives with passion
--learning how to effectively excite youth to give back to their community through youth-led, youth-directed community service projects

Businesses can actively participate in building positive communities for kids of all ages. No business is too large or too small to make a difference in the life of a child. Let James show you how!
