Youth Leadership Conference

The annual WECA Youth Leadership Conference is a dynamic three-day event for youth leaders across Wisconsin to develop their leadership skills while learning about the purpose, operation, and scope of cooperative businesses.

Take the opportunity to…

• See what makes the cooperative business model different and successful, then apply this knowledge to fun and challenging cooperative activities.
• Identify and learn how to develop your own leadership skills.
• Discuss cooperative careers with industry professionals.
• Be entertained and challenged by highly acclaimed motivational speakers who understand teens and talk about topics that are relevant in your life.

This is a by-teens, for-teens cooperative leadership conference that is planned and developed by a youth board elected at the previous year's event. Details on this year's event and application forms will be posted as soon as they become available. Check back!

The conference is usually held in July.
