KidSpeak

KidSpeak® is a free annual forum. It's facilitated by the Mayor’s Youth Council, managed by Our Community’s Children. It gives young people in kindergarten through 12th-grade the opportunity to speak directly to legislators, community leaders, and school officials about issues of importance to them. Each year the topic for testimony is chosen by the Mayor's Youth Council. These testimonies help our young people help shape public policy with their interests in mind

This event is sponsored by: Mayor’s Youth Council, Michigan’s Children, Our Community’s Children, Grand Rapids Children’s Museum, and the City of Grand Rapids.
