"Young people, when informed and empowered, when they realize that what they do truly makes a difference, can indeed change the world." - Jane Goodall
The conference was very practical and provided many simple skills that our students will be able to implement in the future. The vibes were great and I liked how the presenters made students feel comfortable to speak with them and sought students out during breaks. The day was aimed at the age group very well and the speakers were engaging and inspiring.

This was one of the best leadership days I have ever been to with our students. We all learned different things and all can bring them to the table when making our school a better place. It inspired us in different and similar ways that all enjoyed, students loved it and were excited to go to school to see what we can implement.

Having the event run by youth for youth, and also having a speaker with an abundance of life experience who show that age is no barrier was excellent. There were many powerful and engaging speakers, and the activities that get students moving around & meeting each other were great.

The conference was an excellent experience and YLAA shared some excellent examples, tips and leadership skills. The conference wasn't over the top professional which helped the children feel comfortable. It was overall a really fun day for both students and staff. Thank you!
