School and Youth Program Registration for the 2022 YPC is closed.

 

We are inviting high schools and youth programs in Tucson and Southern Arizona to register a select group of their students/youth (10-20 students per school/site) to participate in the 11th Annual Youth and Peace Conference! This year’s conference is being presented in-person on Friday, October 28, 2022 from 8:00am to 1:30pm at Pima Community College West Campus. Registration for schools and youth programs opens September 26 and closes October 24, 2022.  

The 2022 YPC Youth Leadership Team decided to focus the year’s conference on Cultivating a Nourishing Relationship with the Inner You and addressing three themes:

  1. Mental Health & Well-Being

  2. Self-Care

  3. Impact of Social Media/Cultural Messaging on Mental Health & Well-being

Workshops, dialogue circle conversations, and opening and closing ceremonies designed by the Youth Leadership Team will highlight these issues and provide multiple opportunities for participating youth to gain important information and share their viewpoints and perspectives.

Individual Youth Registration for the 2022 YPC is closed.

In addition to having a system for schools to register teams of students for the 2022 YPC, we are also planning to have a way for youth to register themselves for the conference. This system for individual youth registrations is meant to accommodate youth not in school, college students, and youth who live in communities where schools are not involved in the conference.
