Two upcoming Youth Speaks events! Teens can sign up for free at bit.ly/registerforys22!

1. The Backyard Conference: This youth-led, week-long summer camp is about connecting you with the resources and mentors you need to help you grow your voice. We will explore topics like gentrification, mental health, climate justice, and how you can use your art to make a difference. Join us alongside other youth, organizers, and artists for a week of free workshops and performances dedicated to helping you level up. This summer camp is open to teens throughout the Bay age 13-19 with priority for San Francisco youth — SF participants can even get paid $150 for attending! Spots are LIMITED! Register by Sunday, May 29th.
2. Under 21 Open Mic: Come through to the Under 21 Open Mic, an event celebrating young people, their voices, and all the ways they manifest. Poems, songs, freestyles, speeches, dance pieces, and more are welcome. The Open Mic is open to all skill levels, age 13-21. Our final Open Mics of the school year are 5 pm PST May 13th, May 27th, and June 10th. The mic is open to youth 13–21-years-old only.
