Up2Us Regional Conferences
Throughout the year, Up2Us hosts free, half-day Regional Conferences across the country.
These conferences bring together professionals in the field of Sports-Based Youth Development and are designed to introduce organizations to Up2Us, educate Up2Us members on how to increase their program quality and capacity, engage funders in our work, and build momentum for this national movement.
Agendas for Regional Conferences typically include:
• Introductions and keynote address
• Breakout sessions led by Up2Us staff on volunteerism, quality sports-based youth development
programming, evaluation/assessment, community building, organizational development,
national initiatives/campaigns, etc.
• Breakout sessions led by Up2Us member organizations on coach training, physical conditioning, the
power of play, etc.
• A fundraising panel featuring local sports-based youth development funders
