rment Summit: Highlight
Epic. That’s one way to describe the 8th annual Youth Empowerment Summit (YES) that took place on Saturday, December 15th. YES draws hundreds of queer and straight ally youth, as well as their adult allies to San Francisco for one epic day of learning about safe schools, networking and fun!
“How many hundreds?” you might ask. This year, we set an epic record of over 700 attendees at our conference! The masses descended upon Mission High School to attend a jam-packed day of conference programming including over 40 workshops, a resource fair featuring 21 organizations, regional discussion groups, and a youth only dance and drag show...
