The 2020 NYEC Annual Youth Connecting Forum will take place June 22-25, 2020, on a virtual platform. In the coming weeks we will release information on the platform and logistics for both presenters and participants. Our platform will be user-friendly, usable on both PC and Mac computers and accessible. Inclusivity is at our core as an organization, we will provide significant support to all our presenters to ease any concerns and test-drive the platform as needed.

NYEC's tradition is to heavily emphasize discussion and peer learning. In discussion and real-time problem solving sessions, practitioners will facilitate conversations about pressing issues in the youth-employment field. Sessions at last year's All Youth Working Forum included "Methods to Address Youth Disengagement in Education," "Immigration – Where were we? Where are we now? Where do we go from here?," "Environment, Sustainability & Workforce Development," and "Amplifying Your Voice: A Listening Session for Young Adults and Youth Practitioners."

To reflect the times we are living in, we will add themes emphasizing COVID-related program modifications and policy adaptations, as well as needs for pandemic recovery.

NYEC sessions are either discussion sessions or real-time problem solving sessions. In discussion sessions, one or more attendees lead a discussion on a pressing issue facing the field, drawing on their own experiences and then facilitating a conversation. In real-time problem solving sessions (similar to case conferences), a facilitator moderates and another attendee presents a challenge they facing in their practice; other attendees then problem-solve and come up with a proposed way forward.

Our deadline has passe but if you would like to become a presenter please fill out this form ASAP. We will respond by the end of May to give you a status update. Please note that registration fees are not waived for presenters and that we do offer a discounted youth leaders code to encourage youth presenters. Registration fees have been reduced to $100 and $25 for Youth leaders. Please register on our Eventbrite page.

If you have any questions please email Rashaun.bennett@nyec.org.
