2022 CITYWIDE TEEN LEADERSHIP SUMMIT

On July 21-22, 2022, 200+ teens and their advisors gathered at The Columbus Trade Center to discuss pressing issues in the Chattahoochee Valley region and the country at large. While together, they had the opportunity to experience workshops and explore many issues that teens face in their daily lives. They attended thought-provoking workshops from exciting subject-matter experts, enjoyed engaging sessions that addressed critical teen issues, and participated in hands-on and service-learning experiences. Teens and advisors had the opportunity to attend sessions that encouraged inclusion, targeted their passions, and showed them how to take community to the next level. The Summit featured interactive, high-energy experiences in the areas of academic success, career exploration, and healthy lifestyles, while inspiring teens to amplify their voices. The Summit concluded on Friday, July 22nd at THE Club-Teen Center with a #WeOWNFriday Teen Mixer.
