Building Authentic Connections for a More Equitable Future

Social connections are fundamental to build strong pathways that help individuals and communities move forward, particularly during moments of uncertainty. In these times of increasing social isolation and disconnection, community champions are demonstrating bold leadership and a commitment towards achieving more equitable futures for everyone. As we reflect on the leadership of community champions, we want to celebrate youth leaders who continue to mobilize their communities to build belonging and improve outcomes for youth.

Join us for a conversation with a group of inspiring youth leaders from our Communities Building Youth Futures movement to explore what belonging looks like from their perspectives, uncover the conditions that are needed to build authentic relationships and a sense of connectedness between youth and their community, and share lessons learned on how communities can foster belonging among youth.
