The Oneida City School District welcomed David Flood — a nationally recognized youth motivational speaker — to speak with our OSMS and HS students, staff, and community!

David’s humorous, heartfelt, and genuine style empowers audiences with essential social and emotional skills, while reminding us all about the importance of dignity, respect, and compassion.

Drawing from his own life experiences — growing up in a family impacted by addiction, raising a son with special needs, volunteering in hospice care, and serving on several community organizations — David brings powerful lessons of understanding, forgiveness, and unconditional love to every audience he meets.

Having spoken to more than 400,000 students across 38 states and Canada, with videos viewed over 125 million times, David’s message continues to inspire people to see themselves and others in a new light.

Thank you, Mr. Flood!
