The Youth Project’s annual GSA Conference is returning – and this time, in-person for the first time since 2019! The conference will be taking place on Saturday June 1st, 2024 from 9:30am-3:30pm at the Alderney Gate Public Library in Dartmouth.

Our theme this year is Youth Liberation. We want to honor the changemaking work that young people do everyday in their classrooms, schools, and communities We’ll be hosting a youth panel keynote instead of the usual public speaker style keynote — this panel will feature youth discussing their brilliant leadership, community advocacy/ activism, and their dreams for new worlds. Workshop offerings willinclude: Queer Arts & Crafts! Sweet Treat: A Discussion on Our Relationship with Food! Access Needs;to Succeed! & more!

ID: A square promotional graphic for the Youth Project’s upcoming GSA Conference. The background of the graphic contains an illustration of a grassy park with light green hills below a light blue sky. A large, dark brown and green oak tree in the foreground takes up the left side and top of the graphic. There are more trees far in the distance, as well as a winding, light brown dirt path in the middle stretching toward the foreground. Scattered around the park, there are several figures dressed in hues of pink, engaging in activities together like soccer, kite flying, poster making and reading. There are a few brown, square, wooden flower beds around the park as well. In the top left corner, a white cloud shape contains large, light pink text that reads “Gsa Conference” in lowercase letters. Beside the text, small red numbers say “2024.” Below, a white hanging banner contains red lowercase text that reads “Youth Liberation.” In the top right corner, there is a red circle containing white Youth Project logo text. Underneath, a light pink box with rounded corners contains small, black lowercase text that reads “Saturday, June 1st from 9:30 A.M. to 3:30 P.M.” Below, another light pink box contains text that reads “At Alderney Gate Public Library; 60 Alderney Drive, Dartmouth.” In the bottom left corner, another light pink box contains text that reads “For 2SLGBTQIA plus youth in grades 7 to 12” and “Registration link in bio.” A grainy paperlike texture covers the entire image
