The Green Room Youth Experience is a youth conference for Christian youth and young adults ages 13-18. Join us for a day packed with biblically sound content from faithful youth leaders.
The Green Room Youth Experience was founded by Shaneeva Norbi to create a space where young people from all denominations can come together to encourage and be encouraged to totally live and follow Christ. We are in this world but not of it and it is important to let our young people know that God is calling us to live a life that is an example in the good times and in the worst of times.
