15. 2013-2015 Lessons Learned Use the CDC cooks to support meal services at your OMP event. Plan a few outside and off-site events to provide a scenery change. Provide separate activities for younger and older teens, males and females. Use OMP as a platform for the current MYOY to speak about his/her experience. Ask the PAO to capture high resolution photos/video. Create a back-up plan for inclement weather and possible scheduling conflicts (Prom). Ensure all sites have equal responsibilities (Partnered events).
