The Annual Youth Security Forum (YSF) event brings students together from Washoe County School District (WCSD) high schools to engage in spirited and civil discussions about timely and challenging national security issues. The National Security Forum of Nevada and WCSD is hosting the 2024 YSF to equip the next generation of national security leaders and informed citizens with the tools, outlook, and motivation to discuss timely and important topics with their peers, families, and communities. Civil discourse is a pillar of our national security. Bridging divisions at home strengthens our standing abroad. YSF students will practice initiating conversations, listening to others, and sharing perspectives in a respectful manner about a topic that has roiled college campuses since the Oct 7th attacks on Israel and the ongoing war in Gaza.
