“The Power of Words” is the theme of this year’s teen conference that will present information on bullying, the good use of social media, plus college preparation tips to help today’s teens and ‘tweens’. This year’s Teen Leadership, Purpose, and Destiny Conference is scheduled for Saturday, August 18. The conference is held annually to help recharge student ‘batteries’ before most school districts begin on August 20. The Conference will be held in Conference Center A and B of the Collin County Community College’s Spring Creek Campus, 2800 E. Spring Creek Parkway, Plano, 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
The conference offers workshops and a panel discussion with solutions for issues that many of today’s teens face. Those topics include: Social Media, Relationships, Peer Pressure Solutions, and College Preparation tips.
“This conference offers solutions for issues that many of today’s teens face,” said Navolia Bryant, Founder and Executive Director, Training for Excellence. “During the conference, teens actively engage in the workshops, and they walk away with tools and resources that build their self-esteem and provide a plan to set goals for the future.”
The Conference is presented by Training for Excellence, established in 2001 as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization that provides professional life skills, job readiness, and leadership development programs. The programs are geared to empower the attendees with knowledge to become productive citizens, to improve their economic status, and to make life better for themselves and their families.
