Child & Youth Services Expo

Child and Youth Expo 2022- Deliver Us From Legacy: Bridging the Gap to Inclusion
Deliver us from legacy! This year’s Child and Youth Expo will be diving into fresh starts, new methods, and working through negativity and red tape. The lens through which we’ll be exploring is accessibility.
How do we make programs, services, and collections accessible for everyone leading to universal popularity and use — while also being creative and trying new methods?
Join us on this adventure of practical and real-world information, tips, and techniques to hit the ground running in 2023. Be prepared to break mental shackles and imagined boundaries!
Date: Monday November 7
Venue: This event will be a virtual conference
