The Aspen Institute

The Young Adult Forum welcomes youth between the ages of 14-24 for an interactive and inspiring afternoon that includes presentations, small group discussions, performances, panels, and opportunities to engage with other young people and world-class speakers from the Aspen Ideas Festival stage. The event explores big questions while empowering youth to build relationships and network with one another as well as with known advocates who have turned their passions into purpose. This year’s theme, Amplifying Youth Voice, builds on national and international youth-led movements that are striving to advance social innovation, equity, and democracy.
