You’re invited to join us for the 2nd annual New Mexico Diversity Conference in Albuquerque on Saturday, March 7, 2020!
YCD is excited to announce plans for the second annual New Mexico Diversity Conference, for students from rural and urban, large and small, public and private high schools throughout New Mexico to come together, discuss the social issues impacting them and make their communities safe for everyone.
Last year’s conference welcomed over 225 students and teachers from over 30 high schools and youth organizations in the state, and we’re expecting an even larger audience for the event this upcoming year. The conference will be held in Albuquerque at a venue to be announced.
While most people associate the word ‘diversity’ with ethnicity or race, the conference deals a wide range of topics including cliques, religion and interfaith dialogue, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities and abilities, multicultural art and music, socioeconomic concerns, and teenage social problems. See our list of workshops to get an idea of the topics covered by this unique event.
