Youth Conference

Project Overview
For 18 years, CCT has sponsored an Annual Youth Conference, planned and run by our youth Conference Planning Committee, with approximately 300 youth and adults from all Franklin County school districts participating, as well as others from throughout Western MA. The 2010 conference, "Your Future, Your Choice," will be at Pioneer Valley Regional School on Friday, March 5. Contact: Rachel
Last year's conference at Mohawk Trail Regional High Schoolwas a tremendous success. You can see what The Recorder had to say about the 2008 youth conference "Spark Thought, Create Change" in the article "From Seed to Sun: Teens go green."
Current Activities
Registration is now open for the 2010 Conference. 2010 Youth Conference Registration. The Youth Conference Coordinator, Sarah Brault, and the Youth Conference Planning Committee encourage schools and youth programs to register as soon as possible as space is limited. The deadline for conference registration is February 12.
For more information on registration please contact Davette Young at 412-774-3167 x 101. For general conference information, please contact Sarah Brault at 413-774-1194 x 118 or Rachel Stoler at 413-774-1194 x 116.
Future Plans
We are trying to insure the sustainability of the Annual Youth Conference by having area schools host the conference. This involves providing a space where 300+ people may gather for opening and closing activities, a place to eat, and enough breakout spaces for at least 12 workshops. It is not too early to look for a school to host the 2011 Youth Conference. If your school may be interested in hosting, please contact Rachel.
