The Mentorship Program is excited to host its annual Power of Voice Youth Conference on Saturday, March 12, 2022!
The Power of Voice Youth Conference is returning once again so that we can continue to connect, learn and grow together in 2022.
This year’s theme is “Promoting well-being, empathy & kindness in a divided world.” The purpose of this conference is to create a platform where newcomer youth can come together to learn and understand how they can make a positive impact in their communities amidst challenging times.
For the safety and well-being of our staff, volunteers and youth, the Power of Voice 2022 will be held virtually via Zoom. But have no fear! It will still be everything you’ve come to expect from past youth conferences: fun, empowering and interactive. There will be still be incredible cultural performances, guest speakers, swag and prizes!
Join us and hundreds of other youth for a day of celebrating diversity, connecting with others, and gaining tools that will help us get through this pandemic with a positive attitude and empathy for others.
