Every summer since its founding in 2007, GP has organized a Youth Leadership Conference using an Open Space approach and Design Thinking activities. Historically, the GP Conference has been an exciting culmination of the program year when youth from different communities are able to travel to new places and exchange ideas across cultures, language barriers, and borders. These conferences are energetic spaces of friendship, inspiration, and youth power. Many alumni say that the GP Conference was their favorite GP activity and changed their life.
This summer the Youth Leadership Conference will be held in an entirely virtual format in order to respect the COVID safety protocols of all of our communities in the United States and internationally. The conference will occur on Saturday, August 7, 2021, from 10 am - 12 pm EST.
