Youth Empowerment Commission Statewide Youth Commissioner Forum

Formerly referred to as the Digital Youth Summit

5:30pm-7:30pm

Online – Register Below

You’re invited to the first Statewide Youth Commission Forum, co-hosted by the Youth Empowerment Commission and the UC Berkeley Possibility Lab.

Dinner is on us! Every youth participant will receive a $25 DoorDash gift card. 

This year’s forum is titled How Youth Commissioners Can Build a Voice-to-Policy Pipeline because you’ve got things to say, and the world needs to hear them.

Sessions will cover:
• Building real relationships with officials to get things done
• Reaching and engaging underrepresented youth
• Nailing the 2-minute public comment

Between sessions, we’ll have live music and poetry breaks to keep the energy up and the inspiration flowing.

This event was built with your input. Last fall, we surveyed Youth Commissions across California about their priorities, challenges, and successes. We heard you, and we can’t wait to see what happens when we connect and build power.
