About the Youth Summit
Our first Youth Summit was in April 2024. The Youth Summit program is for youth 13-18 years old. The program focuses on mental health, personal development, character building, leadership, personal values, healthy relationships, self-worth, and purpose. The program consists of several marquee events every year.
