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:
-
Mental Health & Well-Being
-
Self-Care
-
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.
