Youth Empowerment Summit – YES
The vision of the summit is to educate student leadership groups on kindness, acceptance, and inclusion, and to provide them with the knowledge and tools to drive change with their school buildings. Students will take an active role in learning, and will discuss, plan and implement activities to bring about change in their schools. Regional bi-monthly topics and materials targeting each topic will be provided to the groups to simplify and ensure consistency. Schools can create a new group, or existing groups—honor society, Key Club, etc. – could fill the need. The summit was funded by a grant from Senator Betty Little. The dream is for the summit to become an annual self-sustaining event.
