About Us
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.
Untold Stories
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.

The Promising Youth Conference is funded primarily by registration fees; staffed by volunteers (the Conference Organizing Committee); and managed under the fiscal umbrella of Voices for Utah Children a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Conference Organizing Committee keeps the conference registration fee as low as possible to ensure that professionals working with youth will have the opportunity of attending and benefiting from this high-quality training and networking experience.
