“We want to create a space where young people’s voices are heard, their ideas are celebrated, and their concerns are addressed,” Mayor Terry said. “This symposium is a chance for the entire community to come together and shape a future where every child in Evansville has the opportunity to succeed.”
Information and feedback gathered from the Symposium will be used in developing the city’s first Youth Master Plan.

In addition to engaging discussions, attendees will enjoy a free dinner and music, while also having the opportunity to connect with fellow community members and hear directly from young people about their hopes, dreams, and challenges.
“Together, we can make Evansville a place where all young people have the opportunities they need to thrive,” Mayor Terry said. “This is not just a discussion—it’s the first step toward building a stronger, more supportive community for our next generation.”
Good Luck!! I hope for the best
