About The Seeds of Change (SOC)
SOC is an annual youth conference for Bergen County high school students. The goal of the SOC is to provide a positive youth development experience while educating participants on various topics which may include cultural humility, leadership, equity, tolerance, mental health, substance misuse, and action planning.
We kindly ask that you also share this opportunity with the youth you may know. Bergen county schools may bring up to 10 students; if additional space becomes available, schools may be invited to include more attendees.

Seeds of Change Planning
We’re having our first youth input meeting on February 3 @ 4pm. Students will get an opportunity to share their ideas to shape the theme of the 2026 conference and network with students all across Bergen County. If you can please share the attached flyer with the students that’d be great!
