This year marks the sixth annual Youth Driven Space (YDS) Conference, which aims to connect youth-driven organizations from across Southeast Michigan and to provide a space for growth and learning. The YDS conference is a day full of community building, presentations, workshops, and project proposals.

The 2023 YDS Conference will take place on April 15, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m, at Eastern Michigan University’s McKenny Hall. Our theme this year is Transitioning into Adulthood. The conference will include workshops that prepare teens for the future, especially topics that aren’t taught in high school such as professional skills and how to be financially independent. Additionally, we will be giving out $5,000 to fund youth driven projects.

Register for the conference by March 31st
