Youth Success Conference @ Oceanside High School!

Youth Success Conference @ Oceanside High School!

Friday, May 31, 2024

8:00am-12:00pm

On Friday, May 31st Oceanside High School is taking an innovative approach to their students’ education. Instead of attending regular classes we will hack the bell schedule and students will attend a student professional development conference or Youth Success Conference lead by community members. Volunteers choose a topic and prepare a 1-hour presentation that will be delivered twice to two different groups of students.

We have reached our capacity for speakers.

Choose one of these themes to guide your presentation.

Presenter Topics:

Roadmaps

  • How did you envision your future self when you were younger? How does it compare to the current you? What did you learn along the way?

Time & Money

  • These are the two most limited resources you have. How do you manage these successfully?

Motivation

  • Who or what has motivated you to be successful? How did you discover that motivation? How did that motivation help you when you wanted to give up?

Secrets

  • What is something you wish you knew when you were in high school or early in your adult life?

Skills

  • What skills are important for high school students to learn in order to have successful futures?

Questions or interested in becoming a partner?
