Power of me, power of we


An empowering youth leadership conference for Sixth, seventh, & eighth Graders

Picture

Hosted by Influence the Choice and led with the support of teen facilitators from Teens Encouraging Community Health (TECH), this annual event brings together middle and high school students for a day of connection, learning, and inspiration. Students will take part in interactive workshops, practice real-life strategies to stand up to pressures around alcohol and other drugs, and gain tools to make confident, healthy choices. Along the way, they’ll build leadership skills, share ideas with peers, and make lasting friendships in a supportive and fun environment.

POMPOW 2026 was a blast!
Thank you to all the students who participated in this year’s Power of Me, Power of We Youth Conference for showing up, engaging, and being open to learning new skills. We’re also incredibly grateful to our TECH (Teens Encouraging Community Health) facilitators who volunteered their time to lead, mentor, and inspire.
It was a day full of fun, meaningful learning, and good pizza, and we loved seeing so many connections and moments of growth!
