White House Conference on Youth
- White House Conference on Youth
The White House Conference on Youth was convened by President Richard M. Nixon and held from April 18 to April 21, 1971 in Estes Park, Colorado.
Participants included over one thousand delegates represebnting every state and U.S. territory nominated by their respective governors and appointed by the President.
This late April meeting was marred by a snowstorm that required the mobilization of nearby U.S. Army personnel to distribute winter gear to delegates unprepared for severe winter weather.
Held at the height of the Vietnam conflict and amid growing youth dissatisfaction with the Nixon administration, many of the recommendations issued by the conference opposed existing U.S. policies.
