On Sunday, June 2, we invite our delegates’ families, supporters and friends to join us at Lasell College for the Family Reception and Closing Ceremonies.

At 12:00 pm, we invite you to join us for a barbecue luncheon. You will have the opportunity to meet other families from your region, and members of the Massachusetts Youth Leadership Foundation will be on hand to tell you more about the Conference and about our activities throughout the year. This is a great informal opportunity to ask questions about our organization and meet other alumni.

A suggested donation of $20 per adult or $50 per family is requested for the barbecue luncheon. However, we do not wish to exclude anyone due to financial hardship. Please contact jennifer.coliflores@massyouthleadership.org with any questions.

After the luncheon, we invite you to join us for an informational session about the Foundation and the Conference. Learn more about the Massachusetts Youth Leadership Foundation, and hear about the speakers, workshops, and panelists that comprise the MassSTAR Citizenship Conference. We will share information about our Empowered Citizenship Grants opportunities, explain our alumni activities and service commitments, and explain the many ways that the delegates can stay engaged following the Conference. We’ll also share ways that the whole family can volunteer!

Finally, at 2:45 pm, we invite you to partake in our Closing Ceremonies. Our speakers this year include Lynne Stader, the president for the General Federation of Women’s Clubs of Massachusetts, and the delegates themselves, who will have the opportunity to speak about their Conference experiences.

The weekend will conclude at 4:00 pm, at which time delegates will say their final goodbyes, pick up their belongings, and depart for home.
