Who is the Youth Conference Committee (YCC)?
We had been inspired by the 2019 Multi-Dialogue Project that focused around the theme of Displacement & Solidarity. We are inspired to work together to organize youth friendly platforms to learn together, speak up, express ourselves, and advocate for social justice issues that are close to our hearts. We are a group of sponsor teachers and youth in various grades, who are connected through our different backgrounds and identities.
