Youth Engagement

Young Californians are essential to enacting meaningful change as we envision a more vibrant future for our next century. Our work brings together passionate student leaders, campus activists, and youth partners throughout the state to create a series of youth manifestos; lead workshops in long-term futures thinking, creative game design, advocacy, and freedom dreaming; and inspire the next generation of futurists at a celebratory Youth Summit in Sacramento.

JOIN US IN SACRAMENTO

The California 100 Youth Summit is set to take place on Sunday, March 19, 2023 with hundreds of young people gathering on the West Side Lawn of the state Capitol for a day of participatory action, live strategic foresight games, creative ‘zine and freedom dreaming workshops, and youth-led visioning for the future of California.
