This new life-changing conference empowers teens to learn leadership skills, make viable connections with community leaders, and then immediately put these skills and connections to use serving others. Your entire community will be impacted as teens directly partner with community-based organizations to develop and implement service projects.
The Connect Effect Conference is planned, organized, and carried out by L.A. Stewart and can be implemented countywide, throughout a school district, or even by an individual school.
We invite community-based organizations to come together for event training.
(1 to 4 weeks before conference)
Through fun, intense, and interactive activities, teens learn new ways to build their confidence and leadership skills.
After an organizational fair, a student panel, and team-building activities, teens team up with adult leaders to plan community service projects.
At this community-wide celebration, teens present their completed projects. This provides further networking opportunities.
