TEDxYouth@ChavisWay, an independently organized TED event, is a half-day event curated by NC State Extension program #PassTheMicYouth in collaboration with Wake County 4-H. Alliance Mental Health, and John Chavis Community Memorial Park Center. Our goal is to bring together bright minds to give talks that are idea-focused to foster learning, inspiration and wonder – and provoke conversations that matter.
Our event will be held on April 13, 2024.
