Youth Institute
Facilitated by:
Lauren Parker Kucera & Jesse Villalobos - Experience - All Levels
Over the past decade, The WPC Youth Institute has facilitated a critical space to strengthen relationships across race and identity for over 500 high school-aged youth from throughout the U. S. At the WPC Youth Institute, youth leaders who want to work for social justice can strengthen communication skills and gain more knowledge about white privilege and begin to build strategies with peers on how to end it. This institute is centered around the perspectives, experiences and voice of youth.
During this interactive program, participants will:
• gain deeper understanding and more knowledge about white privilege, racial identity, racism, social power and intersections of identity (class, gender and culture, etc)
• strengthen communication skills in order to better organize and engage people more effectively across race, culture, age and difference
• develop basic leadership strategies to organize for social change --to reach more peers and potential adult allies
• find individual and collective voice through creative work, exploring experiences of identity and culture
Youth participants in WPC11 YI will be offered the opportunity to facilitate and lead discussions with the film Shades Of Youth during WPC11. (NOTE: The pre-conference Youth Institute is separate from the Youth Leadership Conference, which takes place during the general WPC.)
Youth Leadership Conference
A youth-friendly space with youth-specific workshops & caucuses that engage issues of white privilege, white supremacy, and oppression within the larger structure of The White Privilege Conference. The YLC geared for youth of any ethnic background in grades 9-12 who are prepared to seriously engage issues related to whiteness, racial identity, privilege, oppression, social change and more.
