Spring event

Multicultural Youth Leadership Day

Utah's 10th - 12th grade students are invited to join an interactive day of professional development that builds their capacity to lead in their communities.

Our Multicultural Youth Leadership programming includes a virtual event in the spring to develop our emerging leaders' passions, build foundations for financial well-being, and explore college and career pathways. We additionally host an in-person cohort experience that allows emerging leaders to connect with a professional network that inspires civic service, and volunteerism so they learn how they can meaningfully contribute to their community. 

Our next Multicultural Youth Leadership Day will be held in Spring of 2025.

"Leadership isn’t someone who does all the work, it is knowing how to listen and make decisions. A good leader is someone who influences people, someone who helps others and someone who has a growth mindset and influences with a growth mindset."

The Utah Division of Multicultural Affairs hosted the first Multicultural Youth Leadership Summit on April 30, 2013 at the Davis Conference Center.
