Youth Congress is a youth leadership development activity involving 100's of selected teenagers in grades 6-12 from the Grand Island area secondary schools and adult leaders in our community who come together to discuss an issue of concern to youth. This year’s Youth Congress theme is “Life is Calling". We live in a fast paced society with so many opporunities good and bad. With so much information coming at us how do we make choices that are best for us, our future and the futures of others? We will talk about all these things at this years Youth Congress!!
Youth Congress is an event that gives a formal voice to young people — an event that places youth and adults on equal footing and empowers them as colleagues to listen to each other, think and talk about important community issues, and make plans together that can impact everyone.
