More than 800 teenagers from 100 Colorado schools gathered at Cherry Creek High School on Saturday for the 30th Colorado Youth Diversity Conference
The conference gives teens a chance to discuss issues normally off-limits in the classroom.
“You often feel like you're the only person going through the same problem,” said Estub Worku, who also serves as co-chair of the YCD Colorado student board. “When you find someone that you can relate to it kind of makes it better knowing that you're not alone in that situation.” At the conference, students can come up with solutions to problems affecting their lives and communities.“I hope students will be able to understand the intersectionality of issues and understand that everything is interconnected, and to be able to hopefully have some sort of spark within them to actually make change within their own schools and communities,” said Saeed.
