This convening aims to move the needle in preparing the next generation to accomplish their goals by providing them with the necessary tools and guidance to contribute to building a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

 

Attendees will have a chance to meet with key federal decision-makers to amplify shared asks related to the policies that impact Opportunity Youth the most. They will also gain expertise in how federal law impacts their work and their life, have the opportunity to connect with like-minded folks from around the country, and walk away with resources they can use in their day-to-day. Stay tuned for registration details in the coming weeks.
