The Memorial Foundation is pleased to provide a recap of the transformative Global Youth Leadership Conference, which took place at Harris-Stowe State University. The MLK Global Youth Leadership Conference was developed to provide valuable interactive learning activities, inspiring presentations by high profile VIPs, renowned civic and business leaders, as well as entertainment, and sports personalities.

‍

Throughout the conference, students examined leadership principles advocated by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his contemporaries, through a challenging curriculum designed to build and enhance student’s leadership skill sets.  While interacting with their peers, students used their critical thinking skills to discover how to make meaningful change, not just within themselves, but also in their communities and the world around them.
