Youth Leadership Session:

In this day session for youth, we will talk about the tools of self-advocacy and self-awareness. We will craft a vision of what we want our future to look like, and discuss how that vision can be achieved through advocating for ourselves and our needs. The youth will have their own room that will stream the keynote, so that folks can have a quiet space to draw, or craft as they listen. We will discuss the presentation together before jumping into our session.

Lunch will be provided. Details will be sent after registration.
