Youth to Power: Watch us Rise! Advocacy Month 2023 Kick-Off Event |
Advocacy Month Kick-Off Event, Youth to Power: Watch us Rise!
Join Salem State University's Center for Civic Engagement for our annual Advocacy Month Conference to learn from activists about social justice causes, develop advocacy skills, and learn about addressing power for positive social change.
Youth to Power: Watch us Rise 2023 Advocacy Month Conference is Thursday March 2 - Friday March 31, 2023.
Our Kick-Off Event is Thursday March 2, 2023, from 12:15 - -1:30 pm in MLK. Our Keynote speaker is Massachusetts State Auditor, Diana DiZoglio. She will join us to discuss her journey to public service and share her compelling story of speaking up and addressing power (which connects well with the student-chosen theme of Youth to Power: Watch us Rise). In her talk, Auditor DiZoglio will discuss the importance of understanding, analyzing, and addressing power to create long term positive social change. As a young leader, she has a long history of pushing back against the State of Massachusetts and holding them accountable.
