High School Event Opportunity

Save the Date: 2nd Annual Visions Youth Conference to be Held Feb. 26

Visions is excited to announce the date of our second annual Visions Youth Conference, open to all high school students and designed to build community and inspire students to action.

The focus of this year’s conference is the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math) disciplines with a variety of STEM-based workshops held throughout the day. To be held in Carmichael on Wednesday, Feb. 26 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the all-day conference will also include keynote speakers, college representatives, performances, and lunch.

The reason for our selection of the STEM focus for our workshops is that STEM brings out the best in education: community partnerships, hands-on learning, and real-world experiences that are designed to help students master standards and prepare for our evolving workforce. Students will have the opportunity to explore STEM-related concepts, strengthen critical thinking, and develop problem solving and collaborative skills. We’re excited to invite you to come innovate, create, and compete with your classmates through a series of fun workshops!

The day will have multiple opportunities for students to connect with each other, Visions staff, and education members. Our aim is to create a sense of community and provide a positive environment that will motivate students to be stronger advocates for their education and their future.
