This conference aligns with two NYSED Initiatives:

1. This conference also aligns with NYSED's Portrait of a Graduate, a "a state-adopted, shared vision defining the essential skills and dispositions all New York students should possess upon graduation to thrive in college, careers, and civic life."
2. Additionally, students can earn hours towards earning the NYS Seal of Civic Readiness, "a formal diploma distinction recognizing high school students who demonstrate proficiency in civic knowledge, skills, actions, and mindsets." The activities participating students complete during the conference will prepare them to eventually complete the Civic Readiness Capstone project, a necessary component of the NYS Seal of Civic Readiness. They will have already started on steps 1-3 of the 5 steps towards this prestigious achievement!
