Up2Us Regional Conferences



Due to weather the Dallas Regional Conference has been postponed.
Please check back next week for details about rescheduling.


Throughout the year, Up2Us hosts free, half-day Regional Conferences across the country.


These conferences bring together professionals in the field of Sports-Based Youth Development and are designed to introduce organizations to Up2Us, educate Up2Us members on how to increase their program quality and capacity, engage funders in our work, and build momentum for this national movement.

Introductions and keynote address
Breakout sessions led by Up2Us staff on volunteerism, quality sports-based youth development

programming, evaluation/assessment, community building, organizational development,

national initiatives/campaigns, etc.
