Conference Overview: Serving youth is a constantly changing field and has only become heightened in the past year. Youth staff have been experiencing, adapting, and improving services in the face of the biggest change any of us have seen in our careers. We’ll share the unique ways to best serve patrons from birth through high school and explore innovative and inclusive ideas that will inspire us and improve our communities all while working through the first pandemic we’ve all lived through. Together, we’re stronger.
