In her keynote address, “Expanding the Power of Youth to Change Our World”, Una Osili will share five Calls to Action. Whether you are a parent, business leader, community organizer or youth advocate, the Calls to Action will give us all a lens for what we can do to intensify support for youth engagement and social action. Based on the research of the Philanthropy Panel Study–the nation’s only longitudinal study on philanthropic behaviors of adults, youth and families–these actions can increase resources, advocacy and connections for youth from diverse backgrounds, particularly those from underserved groups and communities of color.
