About this year’s theme
We often hear “there’s a brighter future ahead”—but what does that mean and how do we get there? For young people, that future is dependent on our collaborative efforts to make change. At this year’s Bridge Conference, we will:
- Reflect on our biases while learning and unlearning how to create more holistic and supportive environments for young people
- Connect with each other to fortify our collective power and hold space for restoration
- Reimagine our systems so that we can create a foundation for a stronger youth development field
Together we will forge ahead in our pursuit of more sustainable systems that elevate and empower young people and their communities.
