Join us for Youth Got This 2025!

The Regional Youth Got This Summit was created to help give youth the power to confidently be themselves, share their voices, make a difference, and make the right choices.

The goal of the summit is to provide a safe, fun, and positive environment in which youth can discover their own personal leadership strengths. This youth summit is an opportunity for youth across the five-county region to make new friends, collaborate to solve teambuilding challenges, and practice healthy communication skills that will allow them stand strong in their values. 

 

Middle schoolers, join us from 8:30am – 3:30pm on Friday, April 18th at Camp Korey for the 2025 Youth Got This Summit!

This year, we will discover what it means to be a compassionate leader in your community and explore how to have difficult conversations while preserving friendships!

Back by popular demand as our Youth Got This Summit facilitator is the incredible Solomon Masala from Source Consulting Group!
