About Spotlight Festival

Youth from across California who have created, worked on, directed, acted in, produced, and supported projects for the BOOF campaign gather together every summer for the Spotlight Festival in Southern California.  

We spend three great days in informative workshops, participating in hands-on activities, and continuing to build skills in leadership, advocacy, team-building, public speaking, and project planning.  

Representatives from agencies across the state are also on hand to offer their expertise and knowledge on the issue of problem gambling; as well as to view the awareness projects youth participants have worked on so tirelessly over the last few months.
