Teen Action Fair

In Community We Flourish

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is closely monitoring the developments with the global spread of COVID-19. As a foundation focused on global health, we feel a responsibility to take extra precautions to minimize the virus spreading unintentionally to communities and vulnerable populations.

So, out of an abundance of caution, the Gates Foundation Discovery Center is postponing the Teen Action Fair originally scheduled for March 14, 2020. 

We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding! We will let you know as soon as a new date for the Teen Action Fair is scheduled.

The 2020 Teen Action Fair theme is In Community We Flourish. The theme was chosen by the Gates Foundation Discovery Center Youth Ambassadors to highlight the importance of community-driven social movements and the value of human connection and fellowship.

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.

Stay up-to-date on our new date via our Facebook event page.
