Information Resources needed, ‘What’s In Your Backpack’ Youth Conference

Posted by on September 05, 2011

On Saturday, October 15, 2011,  State Senator Vincent Hughes will host ‘What’s In Your Backpack’ Youth Conference at the High School of the Future, located at 4021 Parkside Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.  This event will connect young people (K-12th grade) and their families to organizations who provide resources and information.

We are planning to have available resources vital to ensuring that this youth conference will have a positive impact on our young people, their parents and the communities throughout Philadelphia and Montgomery counties.  Information related to academic enrichment, healthy lifestyles, and educational alternatives, parental involvement in schools, bullying/school safety, college preparedness and career planning and training are among the areas that will be covered.

As a leader in the education community, I respectfully request your organization’s participation in this event.  I invite you to be part of this event by providing informational resource materials for distribution to our anticipated 300-600 conference attendees. We look forward to your participation!  Your involvement will make a difference in the lives of our young people.
