Youth World Education Project

House Rules Teen Game Night

The purpose of this game night is to use games youth know with a twist to teach life lessons that provide insight and tools to deal with whatever life throws at them. The hope is that with the special versions of these games, youth gain a hands-on grasp of the concepts most important to today’s youth. House Rules: Teen Game Night is open to youth ages 12-19 and also includes an open dialogue to reflect on the event. This event creates opportunities to build resilience, find your voice, and lead.

Urban Experience Conference

The aim of The Urban Experience Conference is to provide a safe forum where African American & Hispanic youth (ages 13-19), young adults, and parents come together to discuss issues important to them, be educated with tangible tools to create solutions and to directly express their opinions through empowerment. The Urban Experience will include experiential learning workshops, opportunities to hear from inspirational speakers, and to form new friendships with other like-minded individuals.

Youth Speak Town Halls

The Town Hall Series is a multipart virtual and in-person opportunity for the youth, young adults, and supporters to come together as one to listen to the needs, fears, and hopes of youth and young adults. The Town Hall Series information is used to create the focus for future youth-led conferences.
