“Teens Talk About Racism” annual teen leadership conference
Teens Talk About Racism (TTAR) is a leadership conference for youth who want to create strategies to understand and stand up to racism in their schools and communities. TTAR brings youth leaders together to collaborate and lead school diversity work. Through activities that foster empathy and dialogue, students learn to recognize thought patterns that may be barriers to respectful communication. Moving from a place of deeper understanding, students return to their campuses to create action plans for a more inclusive school culture.
