The Power of YOUth: Imagination Into Action
Tuesday, August 11th, 2026
Fordham University’s Lincoln Center Campus
The Power of YOUth Summit brought together READ Teen Leaders for a day of leadership, professional development, and celebration of their impact as literacy role models. Teen Leaders connected with corporate, education, and philanthropic leaders while building skills and relationships to support their futures.
We are grateful to the mission-aligned partners who made these opportunities possible for Teen Leaders and striving READers.
