This plenary session will amplify youth voices, highlighting the importance of cultivating diverse leaders. We will demonstrate the power of authentic youth engagement efforts within MCH. Young leaders are tapping into their resilience, creativity, and strength to find innovative solutions to current-day issues. This plenary session will be engaging, as young people create a brave space for participants to learn, and witness the power of youth voice and expression. We also want to provide participants with tools and inspiration for how they can incorporate authentic youth engagement methods into their own work and communities. Now more than ever we need to support our current and future generation of young leaders to bring forth the change they want to see in the world.

AMCHP will be presenting the following awards:
Vince Hutchins Award
Merle McPherson Award
Innovation Hub Best Practices Award
Innovation Hub Empowerment and Partnership Award
Innovation Hub Advancing Health Equity Award
