The Hope of Our Future:
Youth Leaders in Their Own Words


Join us on Tuesday, June 19, for "The Hope of Our Future: Youth Leaders in Their Own Words," a special conversation with four Bay Area high school student leaders who will share their stories and talk about the things that matter most to them.

Twenty-two million American teens will turn 18 by the 2020 election, giving youth tremendous power during a critical moment in our nation’s history. What do they care about most? What will the future look like under their leadership? Inspired by KQED's Youth Takeover, we're handing young people the microphones and letting them speak truth to power.
