San Francisco Youth Leadership Exposition

Calling all youth leaders!!

The SF Youth Leadership Expo is a Bay Area gathering bringing together the next generation of student leaders, changemakers, and builders. Hosted by Better Youth Futures in collaboration with Enterprise for Youth, AAPI Youth Rising and Project Confidence, the Expo is designed for students leading clubs, nonprofits, advocacy initiatives, passion projects, and other community-driven organizations.

Through keynote conversations, practical workshops, networking sessions, and a youth organization expo, attendees will gain actionable insights on leadership, organization-building, outreach, advocacy, fundraising, social media growth, and creating meaningful impact in their communities. Featured speakers and facilitators include nonprofit leaders, startup founders, policymakers, and industry professionals sharing real-world experience and strategies students can immediately apply to their own work.

Whether you are just starting an idea or already leading an established initiative, the SF Youth Leadership Expo is an opportunity to connect with ambitious young leaders from across the Bay Area, discover new opportunities, and strengthen the skills needed to turn ideas into lasting impact.

Free refreshments, networking opportunities, and community tabling will be available throughout the event, including a matcha bar for attendees.
