“All advocacy is, at its core, an exercise in empathy.” – Samantha Power

As a youth worker, you know the value of empathy and the life-changing difference your care and compassion make for the young people you serve. Youth work is social justice work and social justice needs us to be active advocates for this cause.

The virtual Youth Intervention Summit is an event designed to amp up your advocacy on behalf of young people. By joining together at the Youth Intervention Summit we create a movement to disrupt the status quo and bring about systemic change.

We (all of us) simply cannot rest until Youth Intervention is wholeheartedly embraced and fully funded. You are the key. You intimately understand your community needs and MN State Legislators need to learn from you to inform their policy and funding decisions.

Young people need all youth workers to be vocal, active, civic-minded advocates for better policies and adequate funding for youth-serving programs. Your participation in the virtual Youth Intervention Summit is vital to young people.

A Few 2025 Summit Comments

The Summit was a great call to action. Challenges that youth workers and youth face can be opportunities. Caring is not enough, we need to add our voices and act. We must be relentless and share our lived experiences to touch hearts and change minds.

It’s really powerful to gather with like minded people and focus on the reasons we all chose this important work.

Very organized information that really helps understand what advocacy is happening. Appreciated all of the updates!

Thank you for including youth voice!
