On August 11, hundreds of young people from across the state will gather at the Youth Power to the Polls Candidates Forum, to be held at the Mondavi Center on the UC Davis campus.

Several of our members – The California Endowment, The California Wellness Foundation, Rosenberg Foundation, Sierra Health Foundation, Liberty Hill Foundation, East Bay Community Foundation, The San Francisco Foundation, the Weingart Foundation and the California Community Foundation – are supporting the youth-led forum.

A cornerstone of the 2018 Youth Power Summit, the forum will feature candidates for State Superintendent of Public Instruction speaking directly to youth and community leaders. The forum will highlight the creativity and energy of young people and challenge the traditional forum format, allowing our future elected leaders to hear from and respond to California’s youth movement for race and gender equity.

CFBMoC is partnering with the Alliance for Boys and Men of Color on the forum to catalyze youth civic engagement in the state. If you are interested in supporting this event, please contact Program Manager Sergio Cuellar.
