Southern California Youth Futures Summit
This regional summit built on California 100’s work on bringing together passionate student leaders, campus activists, and youth community partners from regions across the state to workshop a series of youth vision manifestos for the future, developed calls to action that inspired a growing network of young California futurists, and co-designed a celebratory Youth Summit planned for March 2023 on the Capitol lawn in Sacramento. Young Californians were essential to enacting meaningful change as they envisioned a more vibrant future for their next century.
Purpose: This summit welcomed youth, college students, and young people from across the Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino Counties) to come together to:
- build connections,
- organize for local advocacy,
- uplift achievements and initiatives,
- and create a “youth manifesto” that uplifted their vision for the future
Activities: The summit featured guest speakers, youth-led workshops, food, games, music, art, campus tours, a resource fair, and connections with local leaders and nonprofits.
Volunteer Opportunity: We were seeking volunteers to assist with setting up, managing registrants, facilitating workshops, and supporting other event tasks.
