Event Details.

On March 4, 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.

Registration for the San Francisco Youth Summit is now closed. Thank you for your interest.

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, Spencer West who will share his passion for “redefining possible” with a powerful personal story.  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!
