a brief summary about what students can expect at the conference: Visions Via Voices is a one-day FREE
youth-led conference that works to bring together youth aged 13-18 from diverse
paths to learn about youth homelessness, mental health, and equity through a
race relations lens. Delegates will engage with community leaders and
organizations through meaningful discussions, stimulating hands-on activities,
and passionate expert speakers; delegates will also be walked through creating
a personal action plan. We are committed to empowering youth with the right
tools and relationships to help make their visions a reality.
