We offer a variety of programming to give young people the space to collaborate, innovate, discuss, and build a brighter future using our data as a baseline.
Our summits are created in collaboration with our participants to focus on a sole issue and to re-imagine a more youthful and inclusive future. Our summits bring youth from across the country the opportunity to connect with a specific goal in mind—they’ve now gone virtual!
