THE POWER OF WHY
BUILDING A MEANINGFUL LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL
A WORKSHOP FOR HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS AND SENIORS

Led by Derek Melleby
author of Make College Count and Learning for the Love of God
Attention all youth leaders! We are welcoming high school juniors + seniors to the Jubilee Conference to join us for a workshop designed for them.
Students will be invited into a redemptive vision for life after high school. Are they planning to go to college? Take a gap year? Attend a trades school? Enlist in the military? Enter the workforce? We know Jesus works with them wherever they choose to go, and He is calling them to co-labor with Him. This workshop is for any high school junior or senior who wants to learn more about what it looks like to serve Jesus Christ with their entire lives.
Saturday, February 22 @ 5-7 PM
Cost: $20 per student, dinner included
David L. Lawrence Convention Center (specific location info below!)
After the workshop and dinner, stay for the Jubilee Saturday evening main session (starting at 7:30), explore the Exhibit Hall, and shop at the Jubilee bookstore.
The Details
Timing | Check in will start at 4:45 PM. The workshop will start shortly after 5 PM, followed by dinner and continued conversation. There is a previous workshop scheduled to end at 5. After checking in, feel free to peruse the exhibit hall or bookstore before your workshop with Derek begins.
Feel free to come earlier than that to check out the bookstore and exhibit hall at Jubilee. 4-5 PM is a great time to check out some books while many people are in a workshop session!
After the session, everyone is welcome to stay for the Jubilee Conference main gathering beginning at 7:30 PM in the Spirit of Pittsburgh Ballroom (close to your workshop room). I encourage you all to stay for this! Jubilee main gatherings are a blast.
Location | David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Room 311. Dinner will take place at 6 PM in Room 308.
Directions from the Westin Lobby (recommended - this is a bit easier to navigate and you won't cross paths with Beerfest happening in a different part of the building: Enter the lobby of the Westin Hotel and go up to the second floor. Cross the “sky bridge” to the Convention Center and go up the elevator or stairwell to the third floor. Follow signs for room 311 from there or visit the Jubilee Headquarters desk for directions (we'll be easy to spot).
Directions from the Convention Center lobby: Enter the East Lobby Entrance of the Convention Center and follow signs for room 311. There will be Convention Center staff there that can guide you!
