About this Event
Our Power, Our Voice: Youth Voice & The Future We Want
Strong communities don't just invest in young people — they listen to them, learn from them, and build the future alongside them.
Marillac St. Vincent Family Services invites you to Our Power, Our Voice, an inspiring intergenerational luncheon bringing young people, community members, and leaders together to explore what it means to grow up today and what youth need to thrive.
Under this event’s theme, Youth Voice, we center a fundamental idea: young people deserve a voice in the decisions that shape their lives and futures. Supporting our youth requires more than offering programs; it requires listening to their lived experiences, valuing their perspectives, and treating them as full partners in building stronger families and communities.
A Truly Intergenerational Space
This is not a conference where adults gather to talk about young people — it is a shared experience where generations listen to and learn from one another. Youth will be present throughout the room, joining parents, educators, youth-serving professionals, civic and business leaders, philanthropic partners, and community members at every table.
Join the Conversation
Come ready to listen, connect, and reflect on your role in creating a community where young people are heard, valued, and empowered to help shape what comes next
