THIS EVENT IS FREE FOR ALL ATTENDEES. AS A YOUTH-CENTERED EVENT, THERE IS LIMITED SPACE FOR YOUTH ALLIES (NON-YOUTH). All optional donations will support this event & future youth organizing work.

At the CYAN Conference, youth ages 15-24 and youth allies will have access to training, intergenerational networks, and leadership opportunities that will allow them to organize their communities to solve the issues that affect youth most. No prior experience or knowledge is needed; everyone is welcome to this two-day conference. Join the community, make friends, and create change!
