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.

GLOBAL GOALS | What does it mean to solve problems on a global level? How do we make lasting change? The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals can help guide the way. Join us for games, hands-on activities, connections with changemakers, and tools to tackle challenges in your community.
