What type of future do you want to live in? We want to inspire youth and create a drive for action within their communities.
TEDxYouth@RVA is being put on by a group of students from James River High School, Glen Allen High School, and the Collegiate School. The event will be addressing the need for an informative and entertaining event in the Richmond community that is directly targeted at youth. Our TEDx event will be happening in conjunction with Global TEDYouth Day on November 14, 2015, and will build off the theme Made in the Future. The event will be held in The Oates Theater at Collegiate.
