Destination Future is a youth leadership
conference aimed at achieving two primary
goals.

Goal 1: To increase the civic engagement capacity of youth and develop their leadership skills.

Goal 2: To provide a mechanism for youth in care or recently emancipated from care to inform service providers and policy makers on the issues that impact children and youth in out-of-home care.

By attending this conference, you join other youth and adults from the United States, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia to discuss and address issues. We will discuss involving youth in Child and Family Services Reviews, case planning, stakeholder meetings, workforce preparation, and collaboration with state agencies. Youth learn and practice leadership skills. Youth who attend this conference not only make the system better for themselves, but they also pave the way for those to follow.
