This day is guaranteed to be filled with excitement, information, and fun! The day will be an interactive, hands-on fun experience for our teens. We will have presenters and speakers who will share their experiences in fashion, music, entrepreneurship, and the World Wide Web. There will be breakout sessions where young people will be able to meet the presenters and interact with fellow teens on these various topics. There will be lots of exciting giveaways and fun activities from the time the youth step through the door. The breakout sessions will be as follows: The Power of the Net will discuss how our young people can change the world through technology, and how important their presence online can be and will affect them throughout their lives. My Style, My Swag will touch on how style differs across cultures, generations, and genders yet how similar they truly are. Building My Empire will discuss starting at the bottom of a career and building your way up. This concept is part of various success stories, but how often do we take the time to discuss the years of hard work that went into building an Empire? My Beat Runs the World will discuss how music influences your thoughts, actions, and can just set the tone for your day. What songs would you say would be a part of the Soundtrack for your life to date? This event is totally FREE!!! Take a look at the Eventbrite Page!
