The 16th Annual Teen Conference provides a dynamic and engaging day for high school students through the promotion of TEEN HEALTH , LEADERSHIP ,

EMPOWERMENT , and ACCESS TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES .

During informative and interactive workshop sessions, students from across New Jersey engage in discussion around a variety of topics, including health, gender identity, healthy relationships, substance abuse prevention, healthy

choices, bullying, communication, and financial management.

Students can also participate in the Youth Engagement Project, a competitive program that integrates students into conference planning and implementation by:

• Presenting a workshop: Students or student groups can share their work with their fellow conference participants during peer-led workshops.

• Participating in a Student Leadership Panel: Teen leaders can talk about what they have done to make their community a healthier place.

• Receiving an award: We will honor a student whose leadership has had a beneficial impact on healthy living and community service.

• Developing a PSA: Teens can create videos about a health topic (such as distracted driving, healthy relationships, pregnancy prevention, etc.) which will be reviewed for appropriateness, shown during the conference, and attendees will vote on their favorite!

• Acting as a Teen Conference Ambassador: Students who have previously attended the Teen Conference can be conference leaders, workshop moderators, greeters, or provide feedback to conference planners.

Supported in part by a grant from the New Jersey Department of Health, Child and Adolescent Health Program, utilizing Personal Responsibility Education (PREP) federal funds HHS-210-ACF-ACYF-PREP-0125
