LEARN
Sign up for a two-day virtual summit on advocacy, communications, and campaigns, featuring incredible keynote speakers, trainers, and facilitators who are young people just like you! During the summit, you’ll be matched up into teams on issues you care about such as climate change, poverty, or racism.
BUILD
Together with your team you will take what you learn from young activists in the main sessions and apply it in your breakout groups where you build a campaign.
PITCH
Your team will develop a campaign pitch that you will present to other summit participants. The winning groups from the first round will advance to do a shark-tank style pitch to a panel of politicians, communicators, and partner organizations. Work to have your cause be the winning campaign!
