An empowering virtual Leadership conference for 7th, 8th, & 9th graders
In these challenging times, it is more important than ever to create safe, engaging, empowering opportunities for young people to share their voices and strengthen their leadership skills. In two dynamic, interactive virtual summits, the youth of our community will explore a wide range of crucial topics including communication skills, collaboration, community-building, strategic thinking and inclusion.
Youth will learn, discuss, and yes, even play as we delve into the critical qualities and principles of leadership development. We will explore how to bring passion and commitment together to create positive change in the home, in the community, and in the world. |
Although these two events are complementary, you do not need to attend both to benefit!
