2020 Beat the Odds Youth Forum
Exploring civic engagement and empowerment for young Texans
Due to COVID-19, this event is going virtual! While the format is changing, the mission remains the same: to unite and empower young Texans.
This is the second annual Beat the Odds (BTO) Youth Forum. This event will be a safe space for all people, but especially ages 14–30, to learn more about civic engagement and connect them with effective resources to make a significant and lasting difference in their communities.
Hear from various advocacy groups and changemakers, then get a chance to ask questions, gain insight and take action.
Free admission, so invite a friend! Registration is required.
