Join Youth Healers Stand Up!, Valley Youth House PRIDE Task Force, Youth Fostering Change, Juveniles for Justice, The Young Adult Leadership Committee @OHS, Youth Art and Self Empowerment Project, Einstein PRIDE Program, Mental Health Partnerships, and young people from Youth Emergency Service, The Attic, and People's Emergency Center at our second annual Heal the Future Conference.

We invite community members, neighbors, social service and youth workers, philanthropists, policy makers, and anyone interested in strengthening community for this city's young people in conversation around the latest in youth movement building and social change. Heal the Future 2019 will consist of a series of interactive discussions and strategy sessions facilitated and developed entirely by local young leaders with lived experience of the justice issues they are tackling, ranging from housing, to mass incarceration, and educational equity. Youth art, design, and planning will also be exhibited to display the creativity put to work throughout the summer.

Participants will be invited into a space where young people are seen as dynamic young innovators and necessary partners in social change, and will be encouraged to act in support of the youth in their lives as community allies.

Scene from last year's Heal the Future Conference

Youth HEALers Stand Up! is a group of 13-24 year olds who are fighting to put a end to youth homelessness in Philadelphia and beyond. The people involved with this group have experienced homelessness or housing insecurity and want to make it so that future generations don't have to go through the same struggle. The HEALers do this by educating young people, professionals, decision makers  on what youth homelessness looks like, bringing awareness in our communities to the situation, and empowering other youth to use their voice and take real action to put a end to youth homelessness.

HEALers stands for Housing, Education, Action, and Leadership
