Teen Action Fair

The Teen Action Fair is an annual youth-led event that inspires positive local and global change by inviting the public to engage with community organizations, enjoy live music and dance, and take part in hands-on activities. The one-day event, held in early spring, is organized by members of the Discovery Center’s Youth Ambassador Program.
