Thank you for your support in our Annual Youth Summit!
This year, 13 sites were brought together, with over 500 students, in grades K through 12th. Students had the opportunity to showcase their cultures through performances, cultural posters, and several models of smart cities.
Through your support, students could learn about new cultures, practice leadership skills, and move towards more self-sufficiency.
