Thank you to the hundreds of teens and teachers from across Colorado who joined us on February 1, 2025!
At its inception, eighteen schools gathered for what has now grown into the largest diversity and inclusion conference in the state of Colorado. We are so grateful to have had over 1,000 teens and educators join us once again in February 2025!
Congratulations to the recipient of this year’s Human Rights Award, YAASPA (Young Aspiring Americans for Social and Political Activism), for their work advancing inclusion and justice! And huge thanks to keynote speaker Meta Sarmiento and end-of-day performer Lokana for making the day so special, not to mention the 44 workshop presenters and leaders!

Take a Leadership Role
YCD’s activities in Colorado, including the Colorado Youth Diversity Conference, are planned entirely by the YCD Colorado Student Board, a team of some 20-30 students from a wide variety of high schools and identities. Join a group of teens who are passionate about advancing inclusion and social justice, and learn the skills you need to make positive social change in your school and community!
The Board is open to any Colorado-based student who will be in high school during the 2025-26 school year. Weekly meetings take place Mondays from 6:00 – 7:30 pm and are held at Cherry Creek High School (get directions here). Meetings start in September 2025 and run through February 2026.
