Promising Youth Conference is managed under our current fiscal sponsor, Voices for Utah Children. We thank Shelter Kids, Inc. for 26 years of providing our fiscal umbrella.
Founded in 1980, the Annual Conference of Agencies and Organizations Serving Promising Youth is an interagency and multidisciplinary meeting of professionals from education, the juvenile court, human services, juvenile justice, and public/private treatment resources who all provide services to children and youth, at-risk and under-resourced, who are experiencing educational, legal, behavioral, and/or mental health challenges.
The Untold Stories Utah writing competition was initiated under the direction of the Utah State Office of Education. This writing initiative was created to encourage Youth In Custody teachers to provide an opportunity for students to tell their untold stories, perhaps become published authors, and maybe even win a prize.
