Youth organizers: your participation is required

Is your organization helping organize young people? Do you sometimes wonder how you can improve your organizing skills?

Do you look around you and wonder how you can help young people become organizers for social change?

This conference is for you.

The UC Center for Collaborative Research for an Equitable California is inviting all organizations that help organize young people for a two-day conference to network and brainstorm. According to the Collaborative's flyer "Youth/young adults (18-25 years old) are a significant segment of Central California whose voices and experiences in civic engagement need to be better understood. Documenting and analyzing the current levels of multi-ethnic youth/young adult civic engagement, including how it can be strengthened, will enhance the capacity of youth/young adults to be leaders, problem-solvers, and active participants in their community’s efforts to address pressing California issues."

The conference will take place July 12 and 13 at Café Revolución in UC Santa Cruz. For more information, call 831-459-1991, email ccrec@ucsc.edu or click here.
