Kickstart to Adulthood/Youth Commission Conference

We are excited to invite High School Students to Commerce City Youth Commissions first ever Kickstart to Adulthood (KSA) Conference on Tuesday, October 22nd! This conference is open to high school students who are interested in learning more about how they can get ready for “adulting”.

We have invited speakers from all over Colorado to talk on two topics the Youth Commission feel are crucial to their peers today, mental health and student rights! The best part is that it is FREE to attend! Parents must apply for the students.
