Are you passionate about changing the world? Are you looking for new ways to put your passion into action? Register to attend the Los Angeles Youth Summit! You'll connect with amazing mentors, inspiring speakers and people just like you.
Registration for the Los Angeles Youth Summit is now closed.
On February 25, 2012, join youth in cities across North America by taking part in Free The Children's annual youth event. We are looking for youth aged 11 to 20 to join an amazing movement of young people at a day of inspiration and empowerment.
At the Youth Summit, connect with young leaders like you who share a passion for world issues and creating positive social change. Through a series of brand new, interactive workshops and activities you will hear and share ideas for bringing change to your local and global communities. You will have the chance to hear an inspirational speech from Free The Children and Me to We speaker Robin Wiszowaty. You will also come away with amazing new friendships, connections and memories to inspire you on your path to changing the world.
The power of one starts at the 2012 Youth Summit where the message, “It Starts With One...” allows you to explore the concepts of activism and social movements. These concepts are highlighted through our inspirational speaker’s stories and interactive educational workshops. At the end of the Youth Summit, you will be equipped with new resources and knowledge as well as clear action plans to take back to your school and community. Best of all, you will be ready to inspire others to join you in being the change!
