Youth Participation
This conference will not just talk about what youth want and need from schools and community but we will hear directly from teens themselves on how we can create a better community to improve youth outcomes. Join us for a panel of experts, our very own Spartanburg County Youth, in a discussion of youth culture, engagement and understanding of what is needed to improve adolescent health and how teens and adults can work together to create change.
PREPARE TO BE INSPIRED!
8:30 AM - 3:30 PM Daily
Local professionals will host breakout sessions in a variety of topics designed to sharpen your skills and give you new tools to use in your work with teens.
