TEDxYouth@JeffersonStreet

Join us for a live recording featuring youth voices, ages 12 to 24, exploring topics from farming to artificial intelligence to the power of American music. For educators, this event offers a meaningful look at how students apply what we teach. It's a demonstration of thinking critically, communicating ideas and connecting ideas to real-world issues. It’s a reminder of why learning matters and how curiosity and creativity can thrive beyond the classroom. For parents, it’s a chance to watch young people inspired by their peers who are stepping up and overcoming one of the biggest fears—public speaking. TEDxYouth@JeffersonStreet helps youth see themselves as part of meaningful conversations about their communities and take the first step toward sparking dialogue that continues long after the event ends. For organizations and programs that work with youth, TEDxYouth@JeffersonStreet offers a powerful example of what happens when young people are given space to lead. It’s an opportunity to see the impact of mentorship and leadership developmen in action. It’s a reminder that when we invest in their growth, we lay seeds for future change to take root.
