TEDxFiveForks Youth is a TEDx event led by youth, for youth. As Upstate South Carolina’s first TEDx Youth Event, we aim to provide a platform for young voices to share their ideas worth spreading. Our event will be composed of youth speakers from a background diverse in thought, stories, and ideas. We will amplify youth voices, inspire our community, and empower the next generation of leaders to shed light on their distinctive experiences and innovative perspectives on the challenges of both today and tomorrow.
