Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Conference will be held from Saturday, June 12th through Sunday, June 13th on the Zoom virtual platform. The goal of our conference is to invite all sophomores from every Massachusetts-accredited public, private, charter, and vocational school to participate in an exciting, hands-on learning experience. Student delegates can be nominated by their school principals, guidance counselors, teachers, and advisers, based on their demonstrated and potential leadership ability. Since its inception in 1974, MYL Foundation’s annual programs have reached more than 5,000 students.
The virtual MassSTAR Citizenship Conference presents two days of intensive programming to challenge the student delegates, broaden their perspectives, and bring out their inner leaders. Through a series of workshops, group learning activities, and intensive small group discussions, we take these young people and demonstrate to them that they can be proactive leaders in their own communities. These students then take these skills and bring them back to their home school environments.
