Are you passionate about helping high school and college students find their voice? The Washington State TRIO Association is now taking applications for keynote speakers and workshop facilitators as we gear up for our 2026 Civic Leadership Conference!

The Civic Leadership Conference engages over 200 high school and college students from TRIO programs statewide. Federal TRIO Programs, as defined by the Department of Education, are Federal outreach and student services programs designed to identify and provide services for low-income individuals, first generation college students, and individuals with disabilities. The goal of these programs is to progress disadvantaged students through the academic pipeline from middle school to post-secondary programs.

The Civic Leadership Conference educates students to become self-aware of how they can have an impact within their community. Through a variety of workshops and keynote speakers, the Civic Leadership Conference will strengthen student’s leadership styles and how to become an advocate for important issues that TRIO students face.

When: April 3, 2026
Where: Grays Harbor College, Aberdeen, WA.
Theme: Your Voice Matters: Be Bold. Be Brave. Be You.
