The Youth Empowerment Summit is an annual GSA Leadership Conference that happens every December in San Francisco.

Our last YES Conference was YES 2009.  Stay tuned for news on YES 2010!

YES is a free, annual conference for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and intersex (LGBTQQI) youth activists and allies who are dedicated to defeating homophobia and transphobia and creating safe, supportive schools for everyone. YES is youth-planned and youth-led.
