The inaugural California Youth Agenda Conference is a convening designed by and for young people about climate change, mental health education, and reproductive rights. These issues were identified as being of top concern by 200 students throughout California who responded to our Youth Issues Survey in the fall of 2024.

Led by our Youth Advisory Committee, this half-day conference will feature inspirational keynote speakers, interactive sessions with expert panelists, and opportunities for students to network and collaborate. We will also be hosting an Action Lounge that will feature organizations and groups focused on youth empowerment, climate change, reproductive rights, and mental health education. Students will have the opportunity to learn more about the important work these groups are doing and how they can get involved during lunch and break times!

Keynote speakers:
Brianna Mullen, Founder of Education Justice Academy
Chris Badillo, Program Director of Education Justice Academy

Break-out rooms
Powering Change: Renewable Energy & Climate Action

Embracing Vulnerability: Building Emotional Strength

Breaking Barriers: Ensuring Access to Reproductive Health
