2024 Annual Youth Leadership Forum

The 2024 Annual Youth Leadership Forum will take place on February 5th and 6th at the Empire State Plaza, in Albany.  Registration and more information will be available in early 2024.

 

On Monday, youth convene in Meeting Room 6 on the Concourse Level; participate in keynote and workshop sessions and Tuesday, youth and Youth Bureau representatives are encouraged to set up appointments with state representatives.  

 

This event is sponsored by the Association of New York State Youth Bureaus and funded by a legislative grant.  The forum is an interactive leadership and educational seminar being offered to youth (ages 12 and older) and Youth Bureau personnel from across New York State.  Youth will engage in fun teambuilding exercises, participate in discussion groups and be inspired to bring what they learned back to their communities.
