MAIN STAGE - Panel: Investing in Youth: A Conversation with Dr. Robert K. Ross and The California Endowment President’s Youth Council

The President's Youth Council’s (PYC) youth engagement model focuses on wellness, equity, access, narrative, and social change for youth power and systems change. The PYC has influenced The California Endowment's (TCE) youth development and leadership strategies and has served as a precursor to TCE’s Advancing Racial Equity process. Learn more about the innovative practice of engaging young people as authentic thought-partners and how youth-led and -shaped narrative change, empowerment, and governance is critical for movement work. 

SOCAP Main Stage programming runs from 8:00 AM-10:30 AM PST
