10th Biennial Childhood Obesity Conference

Youth Leadership Fighting Against Childhood Obesity

Engaging young leaders is an imperative step towards building effective approaches to help reduce childhood obesity.  The 10th Biennial Childhood Obesity Conference (COC) is proud to partner with the Youth Engagement Collaborative to support the continuation of engaging youth at the COC.  The Youth Engagement Collaborative was formed in 2018 and has been working to support and empower young leaders – the COC Youth Advisory Committee - to be part of the conference planning process.  The COC Youth Advisory Committee has worked to bring a youth-led session and youth-led activities to this year’s conference.  The COC Youth Advisory Committee is excited to have authentic youth engagement at the COC this year.
