How To Organize a Youth Summit

This resource includes information on how to organize a youth summit. This is a 6-hour event where youth learn from adult peer leaders about self-advocacy and ways in which life gets better after high school. We do activities like “Making your Case” which is an activity where students role-play how to ask the people in their life about trying something new. Below are materials we use when holding youth summits in Vermont. Contact Green Mountain Self-Advocates at info@gmsavt.org if you want to discuss the training scripts we used.
