One of United Way’s most established youth initiatives, the Student Leadership Conference is geared towards students in Grades 9 through 12. Organized by a core group of 8 to 10 youth every year, the conference features youth-led workshops and illuminating presentations on volunteerism, leadership, and fundraising among other topics.
The Student Leadership Conference has proven to be popular among participating youth. This is reflected in the increasing numbers of student participants, from about 50-60 people when the conference began in 1998 to about 150 students in each of the last several years.
The conference is a great place for students to have fun, connect with other youth leaders from across the city and learn about youth involvement at United Way.
This year’s conference was on Tuesday, November 4th at Canad Inns Polo Park! Here are some of the details.
