The American Youth Policy Forum, powered by Children’s Defense Fund, is a critical convening that explores the impact of politics and policy on children and youth legislation. This forum will bring together approximately 200 participants, including key policymakers, advocates, educators, and CDF staff. Together, we will discuss how national, state, and local policies can better serve young people, particularly those marginalized by systemic inequities. Through panels, an opening plenary, and a networking lunch, this event provides a meaningful opportunity to engage with child policy issues and amplify young voices.
