About the Forum
The 2022 NYEC All Youth Connecting Forum is a two-day national virtual conference that brings together youth leaders, practitioners, policymakers and stakeholders who are interested in advancing the lives of opportunity youth.
Participants will co-create a space for advocacy, information sharing, insight cultivation, and mobilization around several conference tracks listed below. In this space, participants will explore challenges young people face across the nation, educate one another on solutions that can be implemented in communities and empower each other to guide our work towards transforming lives of Opportunity Youth.

Session Proposals
We welcome proposals broadly related to improving the lives of marginalized young adults across the nation. We especially welcome current or former opportunity youth to propose sessions and attend the conference. Sessions are 50-minutes long and will take place via Zoom's interface.
Youth Action Hour
Are you a young adult that can use $500 to support your passion project? We will invite you to present your ideas at the Forum, with each Action Hour presenter receiving $500 each. Conference attendees will vote on awarding an additional $500 to one grantee. During the Action Hour in June, the Forum’s attendees will also give feedback and support to the young adult awardees’ projects.
Sponsorship
We need your help to ensure we’re building a bold future and charting an equitable future for our youth. Sponsorship helps keep our registration fees low, ensure that we can award more Action Hour mini-grants to more young adults, and ensure that we can deliver high-quality session that creates solutions to the needs of young people. All sponsor levels obtain complimentary tickets for individuals of their choice and are featured on our platform’s sponsorship banners. Learn more about the benefits of sponsorship here below and purchase sponsorship via the registration page.
