UNITY Midyear Conference | January 17-19, 2026
The 2026 UNITY Midyear Conference will be on “Collective Impact: Building Power Through Purpose.” This three-day leadership experience will offer immersive training in community organizing and youth council development, equipping participants with tools to create meaningful change in their communities. Youth will engage in hands-on training centered around asset mapping, interactive team-building, and Indigenous leadership practices. They’ll explore how to identify local strengths, work collaboratively, and lead effectively as part of a UNITY Youth Council.
The 2026 Midyear curriculum will guide participants in creating a 10-Step Action Plan for a future community service project addressing one of four critical areas: Mental Health & Wellness, Social Justice, Cultural Revitalization, or Climate Action. These action plans will empower youth to return home ready to organize, inspire, and lead with purpose.
