ALBUQUERQUE - A group of New Mexico teens will undergo training this weekend on how to be themselves; just more powerful. It's Your Move is the name of a transformational teen training taking place in Albuquerque that's meant to restore hope, build confidence, and teach at-risk teens to take more responsibility in their lives.

Reina Carson, with Public Alliesa, the group organizing the event, says a similar program is very popular on the West Coast, but she believes this weekend's training will be a first in New Mexico, where so many of the state's youth are at-risk. The students who attend will leave with a better understanding of themselves and be better able to communicate with those around them, she says.

"Mainly, those would be their parents or people that they look up to, in order to explain some of the things that they have either come in contact with that have been negative, or even things that have been positive."

California-based life coach Alex Urbina will lead the training. He says it's all about getting teens to face their fears and the uncertainties they feel about their place in the world and in life.

"This work really gets to the core of who they are; reminds them of how special they are and how magnificent they are, and once you ignite that spark, anything's possible from that. What you do is you notice that kids are coming out just lit up."

Students from a number of area schools were chosen to attend the training. Organizers hope to grow the program so that it's eventually available to any teens who wants to attend. The training takes place Saturday and Sunday at the National Hispanic Cultural Center.
