“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.

Join us on February 23, 2024 from 10:00 am to 10:50 am Central Time for the next Youth Intervention Summit.
Together we’ll work to secure more funding for youth-serving programs across Minnesota.

A Few 2023 Summit Comments
Loved every second of it and took notes of very valuable information.
 
All of their main points were serious issues needing to be addressed especially with the funding for youth.
 
As a youth worker and the workload we have, I appreciated the flow of the presentation and how you all got straight to the point. There was not a second wasted. This was my first summit and will hope to attend more in the future. Thank you for organizing this.
 
It's always not only refreshing, but energizing to hear so much social justice work being accomplished 🙂
 
The youth intervention summit is a valuable resource in understanding how to make systemic and meaningful changes to support our youth.
 
This summit gave me the confidence to become a social activist, and help support our youth in all their endeavors.
 
Great summit that gets to the point and is well timed out as to not get boring! (we all know how long some online things can get, lol)
 
We so often get caught in the grind we forget there are so many of us doing this work together. It is great to come together, remember the community we work with and get excited for how we can keep moving our work forward.
 
The Summit is energizing, informative and moves people to action.
 
Thank you for coordinating this event. I thought it was purposely planned and informative enough without being too overly long and overwhelming.
 
The Youth Intervention Summit helps express the importance of our youth and their futures and the need for support.

Join us on Friday, February 23, 2024 from 10:00 am to 10:50 am Central Time for the next Youth Intervention Summit.
