Description

The City of Walnut Creek Youth Leadership Commission is holding its first Youth Conference on June 27. Our goal is to energize, engage and empower the next leaders in Walnut Creek. Join us to learn how to become more active in the community, engage with an inspiring keynote speaker and youth panel, learn about job and volunteer opportunties, register to vote, watch performances by local bands and dance groups, experience an art show and win raffle prizes.

The event is FREE and open to all. There will be food trucks to grab lunch for purchase.

10:00-10:30am: Keynote Speaker: Shelina Noorali

She previously worked with Sacramento International Rescue Committee (IRC) providing economic development and recovery services to newly arrived refugees and asylees. She founded IGNITE National’s UC Davis Chapter in 2014 to encourage more women to seek elected office and become civically engaged. Shelina spent the bulk of her last two years at UC Davis leading events through IGNITE, advocating in Washington D.C. for women’s reproductive rights, and conducting research on state capacity and economic growth.
