Teen Action Fair

It Starts With You(th)!

The Teen Action Fair 2019 (TAF19) theme will be It Starts With You(th). The theme was chosen by the Gates Foundation Discovery Center Youth Ambassadors as a reminder of the power each one of us has to make a difference as well as a recognition of the unique role youth play in creating positive social change in our communities.
Celebrate youth-driven change at Teen Action Fair. Connect with youth and organizations working to make a difference in their local and global communities through volunteering, art, social justice campaigns, and more.
The celebration features hands-on activities, powerful performances by  Da’Fir, Filipino Youth Activities Drill TeamRed Eagle Soaring Native Youth Theater, Youth Division – Spectrum Dance Theater, and Zoser, a youth-led open mic, an art showcase, give back activities, and over 30 youth-driven and youth-focused organizations. Want to see what the day is like at TAF?
