The Board of Directors of YouthLEAD is delighted to announce our partnership with Emerson College. This shift marks an exciting opportunity for YouthLEAD to retain our site in Sharon while expanding and opening a new site in Boston within the college's Social Justice Center. This transition will ultimately increase the impact of our work and allow us to serve more youth in our communities. The Social Justice Center at Emerson is committed to working collaboratively with the existing team, participants, and families to build upon the program's legacy as we enter into this new phase for YouthLEAD.

We welcome all of you to a meet and greet with Sylvia Spears, Vice President, and Jeeyoon Kim, Assistant Director for Youth Development, from the Social Justice Center as we celebrate the final session of the 2017-2018 program in Sharon.

A week ago, Youth LEAD ran its 9th annual Teenage Identity & Diversity Education Conference, at Emerson College, Boston MA.

The weekend gave rise to powerful, thought-provoking discussions, performances from veteran singers and brave amateurs alike, as well as plenty of new, heartwarming friendships.
A huge thank you to the youth planning committees that worked tirelessly to organize TIDE 2016, and to our wise alumni who came back as the best Participant Advisor team ever.
You all are incredible! Now let's go out there and make waves!

Youth Lead , a non-profit organization is devoted to training young people to become globally aware leaders through workshops focused on the most relevant issues of our time - feminism, identity, race, income inequality, immigration and other topical issues. They engage in meaningful, respectful dialogue and learn to "disagree without being disagreeable" and practice active listening to understand differing perspectives.
TIDE's(Teenage Identity & Diversity Education) Symposium started on May 27th at Emerson College .The theme of the conference was "Lean In: Transforming Conflict through Communication." For three days, students led experiential workshops and trained their peers to lean into and lead difficult conversations around identity.
