Investing in Appalachia's Youth Conference, October 8-9, 2014, Florence, Alabama

     
     

Many communities in Appalachia, especially those in rural areas, are facing the impacts of high rates of youth outmigration:  the loss of potential workers, business owners, community leaders, and parents of the next generation. The Appalachian Regional Commission’s October 2014 Investing in Appalachia’s Youth conference will focus on strategies communities can use to support Appalachia’s youth and help engage and retain the youth population.

     
   
         
   
                             
                                                       
       

Conference sessions will focus on critical strategies for reversing youth outmigration, including:

       
       
            
  • Targeting entrepreneurial programs to youth
    •         
  • Engaging youth in civic leadership and organizing
    •         
  • Preparing Appalachia’s youth for tomorrow’s jobs
    •
