The Brooklyn Association of Teen Educators (BATES) 2026 Conference is an annual event that empowers and educates youth through leadership development, creative arts, and health-focused networking.
Conference Overview
The BATES network was established to encourage collaboration between service providers and peer education groups in Brooklyn, primarily serving at-risk youth. Key features of the conference typically include:
- Youth Empowerment: Sessions focused on setting positive life goals, leadership development, and advocacy.
- Theater & Arts: The event often doubles as a “Theater Festival,” using performance as a non-traditional teaching tool for social change.
- Health Education: Interactive presentations cover critical health topics, including HIV/STI prevention, sexual health, and navigating healthcare systems.
- Career & Academic Resources: Information on scholarships, financial aid, and career paths for future professionals.
Host Organization
The event is organized by the Adolescent Education Program (THEO) (Teens Helping Each Other), a program based at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University. THEO uses peer-led education to reach Brooklyn’s youth and foster safe, healthy relationships.
