FWR Teen Conference Highlights
Each year, our Jack and Jill teens join youth from across the Far West Region for Teen Conference, an enriching experience centered on leadership, service, connection, and personal growth.
Through workshops, regional activities, community service, and shared experiences, our teens build confidence, strengthen their leadership skills, and form meaningful connections with their peers.
In 2026, the Phoenix Chapter proudly joined our Tucson and Sun Valley Sister Chapters in hosting Young, Gifted & Black, the Far West Region Teen Conference. Thirty-eight Phoenix Chapter teens attended, proudly representing our chapter throughout the conference.
Phoenix also led the charge through service under the guidance of MAL Sherida McMullan and Regional Community Service Chair Rebekah Bell. Teens created more than 500 mental health wellness bags benefiting the local NAMI chapter and built more than 200 prosthetic hands for differently-abled individuals.
