Why?
2020 was a rough year for most of us, especially our youth. Youth experienced social injustice, social and emotional challenges, peer isolation, and financial hardship just to name a few. This year's theme, Freedom to Choose, is about having the FREEDOM to be healthy physically, mentally, socially, and financially. The Youth Summit aims to cultivate and empower the next generation of leaders by providing them with the tools they need to leverage their lived experience to reach their full potential in life. Participants will learn the basics of financial literacy, physical and mental health, and workplace stigmas.
