Read Alliance Seventh Annual Youth Summit - The Power of YOUth: Our Stories Matter
The 2025 Annual Youth Summit is a full-day event that brings together READ Teen Leaders from the five boroughs of NYC and beyond to mark the culmination of their meaningful summer employment and participation in complementary leadership programming. At the Summit, we celebrate the Teen Leaders' achievements and their success as literacy role models for striving young READers.
The Power of YOUth: Our Stories Matter enhances the Teen Leaders' recent paid professional experiences by providing them with interactive learning opportunities, such as workshops, panels, and activities that promote important life and leadership skills. The Summit serves as a unique opportunity to connect with visionaries in the corporate sector, education champions, and philanthropists - all of whom are dedicated to advancing equity and success for young people.
