The Impact: The Allied Media Conference give DFY youth the opportunity to learn and use technology tools, and provide them access to a larger audience and platform to use their voice to address issues they are concerned about in their schools and neighborhoods. The deeper our networks grow, the greater our capacity grows to take collective actions to transform our world. The AMC helps develop new leaders and new forms of leadership, design new methods of problem-solving, cultivate the visions of our communities and build our power to make those visions real. Many people claim that youth are our future, but the core principles we follow see youth as needed now, rather than later when they have “grown up” Help us to connect youth to this larger movement of social justice around the nation that will foster and develop, support youth so they can lead in the present.
