LevelUp3 Youth Leadership Conference July 18th – July 19th

Learn, Grow, Lead

Over 120 students from Pasadena, Altadena, and the surrounding area spent two days learning new skills and making new friends at LevelUP3. The conference gave local youth a chance to learn about the amazing diversity of leadership and networking opportunities available and connected them with organizations that offer hands on volunteer, community service, and leadership activities. This year’s conference workshops included Cybersecurity, Relationships, Work Skills, Bite of Reality, Compassion Plays, and Healing Through Art.

College Access Plan alum and Stanford student Michael Ocon kicked off the conference with a powerful discussion about reaching your goals and following your dreams. Later that day Pasadena Police Chief John Perez shared his story about becoming a police officer and inspired students to think about the decisions they make and how they will impact the goals they have.

LevelUP3 found a new home this year at Pacific Oaks College, which provided an opportunity for students to explore the campus and learn about their amazing programs. On both days students connected with colleges and local organizations while enjoying their lunch on Pacific Oak’s beautiful campus. Refreshments were provided by the Chapala Bakery, Stonefire Grill, Tournament of Roses, Councilmember John Kennedy, the Pasadena Police Department, Pacific Oaks College, College Access Plan, and DayOne.
