Lead On! youth leadership conference

About

Lead On! is an annual conference for youth leaders and their advisors. The conference features two presentations and two sessions of workshops, presented by facilitators from various agencies in Bucks County and beyond who generously volunteer their time. In addition, there is a volunteer awards ceremony to honor those students who exhibit outstanding prevention efforts in the area of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

Conference Goals

• To encourage the involvement, networking and interaction of students in prevention, and to support the non-use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
• To provide students and advisors an opportunity to network and share their thoughts, feelings and ideas on important life skills issues.
• To honor students who have made an important impact in their school’s prevention programs.
• To provide current, accurate information; to develop resiliency skills; and to present prevention ideas, projects and programs which the students can replicate in their school communities.
• To further the combined efforts of schools, communities and agencies to grow, develop and become more informed about matters affecting their lives.
