2026 Expo Facilitator Application

  • 2026 Expo Facilitator Application

    At SSN, we believe that the solution is almost always “in the room"" and that our greatest strength as a sector lies in our connections to one another. We are excited to invite SSN members to share at a breakout session at our 2026 Expo. Our Expo brings together network members and NYC youth development leaders to reflect on challenges, share solutions, and strengthen the web of relationships that drive collective impact. Attendees will explore how organizations are preparing young people for the future, elevating youth voice, building relationships, using data to improve, and collaborating to address shared challenges. Proposals are due by Friday, July 31, 2026.
