MEET THE SPEAKER

It’s easier than ever for young people to make their voices heard, but to connect, learn, act and change the world for the better, they need more: knowledge and role models. Our Meet the Speaker program brings youth from around the Bay Area together with leaders from around the world. Together, they talk in small, private groups about timely, vital topics and learn how current challenges can be transformed into opportunities as the youth of today step into leadership roles for the future.

Meet the Speaker is a cornerstone of our civics education initiative, Creating Citizens. It’s a unique opportunity that gives young people and educators direct access to civic leaders, thinkers and decision makers. Every year we connect civic-minded classrooms and student groups with lawmakers, journalists, artists, diplomats and public figures from around the world.

Are you an educator interested in bringing students to meet one of our speakers during the 2024-2025 school year?
