Social Justice Summer Summit

This summit will focus on using critical thinking skills to examine the justice-related issues that impact youth. Youth will explore how they can creatively respond to these issues through three different tracks: environmental justice, economic justice, and social justice.

Youth will lead discussions, brainstorm with other youth and staff to promote ways that will mobilize change in their communities. Youth will learn analytical skills, organizing skills, and the needed capacities to mobilize action. We intend to build agency among youth in a supportive environment through engaging speakers and interactive activities. Students will build confidence in learning the power of their voice and have fun while doing it.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
