C. High School Students have two unique opportunities designed with them in mind. Learn about earning academic credit in section H.

1. Youth Action Project (March 29-31): Concurrent with the WPC, High School students can participate in the Youth Action Project. Click here for more info. Cost: $220/includes lunch and an evening social room.
2. High School Youth Institute (Wednesday, March 28): This one-day, pre-conference institute is designed for high school students interested in exploring issues of social justice and liberation. Keynote: Wade Colwell-Sandoval. Cost: $75/includes lunch.

D. Shabbat Dinner: On Friday, March 30th we will “ce-liberate” the annual WPC Shabbat Dinner. Everyone is invited and all are welcome. The Friday evening keynote will directly FOLLOW the dinner. Since WPC12 falls over the Jewish Shabbat, we encourage you to come and “cel-liberate” with us. The Shabbat Dinner is one symbol of our stand against anti-Semitism; the WPC has always stood for inclusion, and welcomes multiple perspectives on privilege and oppression. Cost is $40/person or $30/student. Onsite purchase may not be available as this event has sold out consistently in the past.

E. Conference Lodging: Check out the Lodging page of the website for list of options. Please NOTE: The conference activities will occur at the Albuquerque Convention Center.

F. Registration Group Discounts: Each registrant MUST complete a registration form. Group discount options: 10-20 people 5%, 21 or more 10%. For groups larger than 50 please contact Eddie Moore at emoorejr@brooklynfriends.org.

Refunds will be mailed within 30 days following WPC 13.

H. Academic Credit: Conference participants, including current high school students, may earn undergraduate or graduate transferable university credit. Course registration and syllabi are available here. Deadline to register for all sections is Friday, April 22, 2011.

J. WPC Sponsors and Community Advocates: Community Advocates are organizations that commit to send at least three participants to the White Privilege Conference and pledge to help promote the WPC in their community. All Community Advocates will be recognized and acknowledged on the WPC website. Become a Sponsor! We need your support. Read details or contact Abby Ferber at aferber@uccs.edu.

K. WPC Scholarship Fund: We encourage you to donate – $5, $10, or $100 to the WPC Scholarship Fund to help fund other participants and students who want to attend the WPC, but who cannot afford it. In 2010, with the support of corporate and individual donors, the WPC awarded more than $12,000 in scholarships. Any amount would be greatly appreciated!
