The 2025-2026 Youth Commissioners of the Montgomery County Commission on Children and Youth are thrilled to extend an official invitation to you for the 19th annual Youth Voice Roundtable on Friday, April 10, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Upper County Community Center (8201 Emory Grove Rd, Gaithersburg, MD 20877). The event will be offering both in-person and virtual participation options via Zoom.
This year’s roundtable will discuss topics centered around youth resiliency, including student experiences with digital literacy and safety and human trafficking awareness. Our goal is to highlight the importance of youth involvement in shaping conversations around these complex topics. Your expertise, insights, and presence enrich our community conversation, and we warmly invite you to join us for this impactful event.
Please note the following guidelines for student service through live virtual platforms: A student’s parent/guardian must provide the nonprofit with written approval of the student’s participation in the virtual platform prior to the student serving/volunteering. Students must use personal/private accounts (not MCPS student accounts) to engage in the virtual platform. Students will only engage with others under the direct supervision of a nonprofit supervisor. The nonprofit supervisor will be directly present in the virtual space (including any breakout sessions) at all times. The nonprofit supervisor will initiate and host all virtual sessions. If the nonprofit supervisor is not available to initiate and host the virtual session, the session will not occur. Virtual sessions will not be recorded. Students should not share or upload any videos, pictures, or images of themselves, unless the nonprofit organization has obtained a signed form/waiver from the student’s parent/guardian authorizing permission/release. Students’ email addresses/home addresses or any personally identifying information will remain protected and not shared. Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety and privacy at any time the student is interacting with the nonprofit and its clients. The nonprofit organization will determine the number of SSL hours awarded based on the evidence submitted. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns. This service activity is designed to be completed within the safety of the student’s home.
