Youth Summits dealing with controversial issues of today’s youth.
What is the purpose of these Youth Summits?
- To educate and direct
- To up-lift their efforts
- To support and understand their views
- To help them resist peer pressure
- To help them make healthy decisions
- To assist them in setting goals
Although the Youth Summits will teach teens and young adult to resist peer pressure, make healthy decisions, feel good about them selves and set goals for the future we don't stop there. Research shows that teens receive a great deal of information from other teens, “many times this information is inaccurate.” Therefore, this summit will be our platform to address and deal with many of these issues.
The Youth Summit will empower a group of teens that has leadership skills with accurate age-appropriate information and peer mentoring so that they may educate others in the community and direct them toward responsible decision-making.
As a well informed youth, your teen will help increase community awareness, potentially help reduce mistakes as young adults, and develop into a valuable community leader.
