The unconferences bring together approximately 100 high school students from 25 schools in a region.  Over the 3-day event, the students hear inspiring keynotes, participate in interactive workshops and develop and refine their ideas for a community project.

  Training sessions discuss mission, strategic planning, marketing, elevator pitches, and much more!  Mentors are present to assist and connect with the students throughout the weekend.  Mentors and delegates have the responsibility of following up after the event to ensure the great ideas get translated into actions!

  Planning and acting on ideas, while sometimes daunting, is incredibly empowering.  By acting on one idea, students are empowered to act on many more, and will realize just how capable and powerful they are.  You'll be set to change the world.
