Join us to celebrate youth voice and leadership in our community! We are having a free, family-friendly party to launch the beginning of our new youth leadership program, “Expressive Leaders”. Our Expressive Leaders are a small, select cohort of young people ages 8 to 16, who will be putting together a “voice project” where they use their communication skills to help others. With the help of mentors, Expressive Leaders spend the six months creating and enacting their voice projects, which will be showcased at our June conference. All Expressive Leaders have gone through at least one program at The Practice Space and we are excited to announce the finalists at the end of this month!

We need people like you to come to the party to celebrate these leaders and give them feedback on their project ideas. Anyone is welcome — you do not need to have been to one of our events or programs before. When you arrive, you will be introduced to the students and then go around the room to talk to them informally about their ideas to help the community….all while eating free food and participating in a silent auction! Silent auction prizes include an array of fun baskets as well as free tickets to the SF Ballet and more — all proceeds go to support this program.

We are holding this event to get our students excited about their upcoming project and show them the support of their community. The party is free, family-friendly, and open to the public….we hope you join us! Please RSVP by “buying” a ticket on this page so that we know you are planning to join (cost is $0). Hope to see you on Saturday, November 16th from 6pm to 8pm at Richmond Food Hall (1503 Macdonald Ave in Richmond).
