This year, we held a networking event instead of our traditional levelUP Youth Leadership Conference. The levelUP Youth Leadership Lunch & Mixer aimed to provide our local youth with the opportunity to learn and connect with local leaders and peers who share similar interests and aspirations.<\/p>\n

The event consisted of short introductions followed by lunch and mingling. Each guest speaker demonstrated leadership qualities, community involvement, and a commitment to empowering youth. Their diverse backgrounds and experiences contributed to a rich conversation, enabling students to learn from a wide range of unique perspectives to help develop a broader understanding of leadership and community engagement.<\/p>\n

Below are some photos from the mixer as well as the names of our guest speakers.<\/p>\n
