With the current concerns of COVID-19, we made the decision to reschedule our Moving Forward: Effective Ways to Impact Others Spring Conference. We will announce a new date SOON!
If you joined us for Moving Forward Conferences in the past, you’ve met the incomparable duo of Tutt and Daggs. Well…
They are joining us for our 24th year!
Join us on April 24, 2020, at the McLennan Community College Conference Center for a day with Kevin Tutt and Michael Daggs with a special morning session with Darryl W. Thomas, Jr. – this year’s keynote for our Making Choices Youth Conference!
Youth Connection Waco, in partnership with Baylor University and Education Service Center Region 12, is pleased to announce this year’s Making Choices Youth Conference is March 4, 2020!
As a young underdog, Darryl grew up in a broken home where he experienced the effects of divorce, poverty, domestic violence, drug abuse and fatherlessness. He was faced with the insurmountable odds of his father’s untimely death, his mother’s drug addiction and deeply impoverished communities. Such odds were enough to make anyone quit. Despite the temptation to quit, Darryl discovered a reason to fight back and adopted a resilient mindset. Be prepared to be inspired, to have your excuses challenged and your perspective transformed as Darryl engages the youth as if they are his own.
Our next Moving Forward: Effective Ways to Impact Others Conference is Friday, April 24, 2020!
Stay tuned for all the details! This will be our 24th annual professional conference! We will get registration details to you ASAP so you can reserve your seat!
