Shattering Stereotypes
Empowering Youth to Create Positive Change
SATURDAY AFTERNOON SESSION: October 17, 2009
2:45pm – 4:15pm
The young constitute the most dynamic part of any population and have always been a major driver of social change throughout human history. How can we break through prevalent negative stereotypes about youth and support today’s younger generations to engage to become powerful, positive change-agents in their communities?
Come decode these stereotypes and help build a coalition of young activists that will give adults a brand new perception about the power that youth wield. Join California youth leaders from Roots & Shoots, and other youth leaders from Destiny Arts Performance Center, Grind for the Green, and Green for All.
