Youth Empowerment Summit – YES
The vision of the summit is to educate student leadership groups on power of kindness, acceptance, and inclusion, and to provide them with the knowledge and tools to drive change within their school buildings. Students will take an active role in learning, and will discuss, plan and implement activities to bring about a positive shift in school climate. Regional topics and materials targeting different themes will be provided to the groups to reduce staff time, simplify the process, and promote consistency throughout the region. Schools can create a new group to fill this role, or could choose to utilize existing groups, such as the honor society, Key Club, etc. The summit was initially funded by a grant from Senator Betty Little. The dream for the summit has become a reality, as the program is now an annual self-sustaining event!
