Youth Empowerment Collective

04/11/2025

With full hearts, we want to share something that’s been incredibly hard to say:

Youth Empowerment Day 2025 has been postponed.

Postponing Youth Empowerment Day this year broke our hearts. We held on as long as we could, but sometimes life gently reminds us to slow down and take care of what matters most.

This dream was never just about one event — it’s about a movement rooted in love, belonging, and believing in the power of our youth.

To everyone who believed in this vision with us: thank you. Your support, love, and encouragement have meant everything.

We’re holding the dream close and trusting that, when the time is right, we’ll continue this journey together.

Thank you to Bradford Today and Michael Owen for helping us share this part of our story.
