KAEDC presents Youth Economic Leadership Workshop, sponsored by the Bright World Foundation and UC Merced, for Young Adults, 10th to 12th grades. As our current economy moves more and more towards a global economy, fostering a sense of cooperation as well as competition in our young adults is essential for a brighter, responsible future. The Youth Economic Leadership Program will establish a path for the young adults of today to become economic leaders of tomorrow.
The Economic Leadership Program is geared towards educating young adults to work for a better future. Throughout the Conference, participating students will learn important economic concepts, such as financial decision-making processes, personal finances, banking, the relationship between local and global economy, and building community ties with a sense of personal integrity.
The conference speakers include distinguished speakers and leaders.
