Speak Hard
The annual Speak Hard Youth Conference, sponsored by ACT Missouri, is held annually in Jefferson City, MO at the Capitol Plaza Hotel. For the past 14 years Speak Hard has given youth grades 9-12 the opportunity to learn about underage drinking, substance abuse, and prevention. This year on Wednesday, March 14, teen voices will unite at the State Capital to attend workshops and network with other youth from across Missouri.
