YOUTH CONFERENCE: Advocacy And Upskilling

By registering for this event, you are securing your spot in this specific event at Shopfront's Youth Conference, but please join us for the Smoking Ceremony at 1.30pm and feel free to hang around Shopfront and explore the snack room, art room and other hangout areas!

Each panel will be AUSLAN interpreted .

In 2025, Shopfront will hold our first annual Youth Conference! But… what is a Youth Conference? Well that is up to our Young People.

It’s definitely not a conference in the way that adults have experienced it. It is for and by our Young People and they get to decide what it is. Curated by our Advisory Panels – the Youth Conference will be a mix of workshops, socialising, eating together, making things together and speaking to adults about what matters the most to you! In 2025, this event will be locally focussed but we look forward to watching it grow to Sydney and beyond in the years to come.
