The Micah Conference is an annual 4 day student-led conference for youth and educators to explore the Christian integration of faith, leadership, and social justice. The goal of our conference is to help raise up the next generation of youth to be not only knowledgeable of social injustice issues, but also to be equipped to recognize them and work towards social justice in a restorative manner. Boston Trinity Academy runs a resource center named The Trinity Institute for Leadership and Social Justice with the goal of inspiring students to take leadership and to fight for social justice both locally and around the world. We have been empowered as students to recognize the part that we can play in combating injustice. The Micah Conference, now in its sixth year, is our way of sharing this passion with other students around the nation by inviting them to learn and to contribute in the journey towards leadership and social justice. This conference acts on the instructions found in Micah 6:8 – “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”  

Our conference features a variety of workshops, facilitated discussions, keynote addresses, and even a day of hands-on work and learning opportunities in the city, partnering with local justice-focused organizations. The conference will run for two full days, with a half day on either end.  Tuesday June 26th, will feature a variety of workshops, facilitated discussions, and keynote addresses. On Wednesday June 27th, we will spend the majority of the day in Boston, partnering with local justice-focused organizations before a debrief and an evening session. Our desire for the youth who attend our conference is that they are inspired by the devoted lives of our speakers and challenged to reach their potential as leaders in their communities. We are asking speakers to share the story of their fight against injustice, specifically as people of faith.
