Leadership Day 2026: Youth To The Table

On March 11, 2026, LGBTQ+ youth took to the statehouse to demand a seat at the table! Watch these key moments from the day:

Youth Press Conference (11:30 am - 12:00 pm)

Youth Leader Panel (1:30 pm - 2:30 pm)

All LGBTQ+ and allied youth ages 19 and under in Vermont are encouraged to join us for Leadership Day!

LGBTQ+ youth deserve to be involved in decisions that affect their lives. It is critical that Vermont's decision makers hear directly from young constituents to understand their unique perspectives and build a better future, together!

Leadership Day is an opportunity for young people to build power together, and for adults to be informed - and transformed - by youth perspectives.

Over the course of this event, you(th) will learn how to use your voice to make real change on issues that matter to you! Join us to:

  • Build youth power through organizing and advocacy skills

  • Learn about current laws and policies and how to take action

  • Explore multiple ways you can make a difference for your community today

  • Imagine and build a better future for all!

You(th) have the power to make change!

This tool is designed for Vermont's LGBTQ+ youth to learn about solidarity, youth power, and how to use your voice. It guides you through some Key Issues impacting youth and how to use your voice to take action!
