Please note: Equal Are We has been postponed. Watch the website for updates on a new date.
In partnership with the City of Cambridge, YWCA Cambridge is hosting its third annual Equal Are We Conference. Stay tuned for a new conference date soon.
What is it?
Equal Are We is a full-day, dynamic conference with workshops, speakers, and some fun and engaging surprises aimed at making you question: what can I do to make the spaces where I live, work, home, school, and beyond, more inclusive? How can we move from a place of divided views to a place of more tolerance and understanding?
Step up. Stand together.
Who is it for?
This conference is for high school youth age 14 - 18 and adults who share our vision for a community where everyone’s voice is equal.
Warning: This isn't one of those conferences where we talk at you. This is one of those conferences where we talk TO you. We believe every member of the community is an expert in their own space and we want to learn about your vision and ideas. We want you to connect with others and to leave feeling empowered to make your voice heard on what matters to you.
The day will be fast-moving, cover a range of topics, and include a ton of great voices. We can't wait to see you there. Adult tickets are $25 and include lunch. On sale now: get them here! Youth tickets are FREE - just fill out this short application form.
