Journey to Impact: Empowering Young People in Today's Creative Economy

Dreams & Ducats presents its third installment of “Journey To Impact”, a youth conversation event series designed to elevate the voice and lived experiences of young people.

Come build community and hold space with young creatives at this 45-minute, live youth-led discussion panel event as we explore and examine employment access, entrepreneurship, opportunity, and equity among youth in San Diego’s creative economy.

Together we’ll celebrate youth stories and honor their journey as they continue to hone their talents, navigate the economic climate, and (re)claim the power of their creativity to design a life that they love and live well.

Register now and support our next generation of young creatives!

Features:

  • Dreams & Ducats pop up
