Collegiate School, Hershey Center for the Arts, Oates Theater
Generate Ideas. Generate Change. Generate Impact.
This year's TEDxYouth@RVA is all about sparking new possibilities. From generating ideas that inspire change, to creating solutions that drive progress, the power to generate is in our hands.
At TEDxYouth@RVA, we bring powerful ideas—and performances—to the stage. TED Talks are short, impactful presentations where speakers and performers share stories and insights that can change the way we see the world. This year's event, themed "GENERATE," will feature a diverse lineup of speakers from across Richmond, all invited by a team of dedicated high school students to generate new ways of thinking about our community and beyond.
TEDxYouth@RVA is more than just a series of talks—it's a movement, organized entirely by local students who believe in the power of fresh, compelling ideas to spark conversations that lead to real change, right here in Richmond and across the globe.
Be part of the energy! Join us for this free event at the Collegiate School's Oates Theater.
