We the Wild Youth is an event to launch a youth empowerment movement to inspire and empower all youth to believe in themselves, have their voices heard, their initiatives  supported, and to showcase the supportive resources that already lie within our community. We the Wild Youth is visioned and organized by Francesca Bas, a 17 year old student who has decided to stop accepting the things she cannot change, and start changing the things she can no longer accept. This event is welcoming and open for all youth as a safe space to feel empowered, supported, and have youth voices amplified.


The evening will include free dinner, fun raffle prizes, tabling by partner organizations supporting youth, and showcase five amazing diverse youth speakers sharing their stories in a TedX inspired format to engage the audience in conversations around the challenges and celebrations of being a youth alive today. . The evening will come to a close with performances by local youth musicians through Friends of Noise.


We the Wild Youth serves as a gathering place for youth to connect their initiatives through local networks. Over a dozen community partners will be present at the event to show youth the range of support that already lies in our community who believe in them and want to see them succeed. Beyond our event co-hosts Friends of Noise and The City Repair Project, we will have various community organizations that will be tabling on site include, Multnomah Youth Commission , Urban Nature Partners PDX , Portland Tennis and Education , Earth Citizens , Life Lines Youth Lines , Q Center , 350PDX , Passion Impact , New Avenues for Youth , Best Buddies , Girls and Boys Club , Earth Guardians , ACLU , Planned Parenthood , Sunrise Movement , Trillium Family Services  and more!
