Join us for an event that empowers and uplifts today’s youth. Our mission is to provide a learning experience focused on hope, self-worth, and confidence, giving students and adults tools to make a difference in themselves, their schools, and their communities.
At the Youth Summit, participants will engage in an inspiring journey designed to encourage positive change. With a mix of thought-provoking and engaging activities, we create an inspiring environment for learning.
Our message is simple: Youth voices matter. Everyone can make a meaningful impact in their lives and their communities. We bring together 1,000 high school students for unique learning and growth opportunities.
We aim for participants to feel inspired and empowered, knowing their voices count. This event offers a space for nurturing aspirations and encourages youth to use their strengths effectively.
Our main audience includes high school students from Northeast Wisconsin accompanied by school adult mentors and dignitaries.
Thank you for visiting. We’re excited to start this journey with you, inspiring hope and making a positive impact in our communities.
Are you ready to make a real difference in your school, community, and among your peers? Join us for an interactive session where YOU are the leader driving positive change! This event will show you how to tap into your inner strength, build resilience, and create lasting connections with others. In a world where mental health challenges are real, you have the power to make an impact by fostering belonging, increasing self-worth, and using your voice to inspire change.
You’ll engage in dynamic, fun activities designed to energize you and help you connect with those around you. You’ll also have the opportunity to reflect on your personal strengths and hear inspiring stories that show how we can all make a difference through our experiences. As we explore the power of peer-to-peer support, you’ll discover how you can spark positive social change, from mental health to building healthier, more supportive environments in your school and community.
This is your chance to step up, share your story, and learn how to use your voice for social change around critical issues like mental health, suicide prevention, and creating positive social norms. Together, we can create a movement that starts with YOU, making your community stronger, more resilient, and better for everyone. Ready to lead the way? Let’s do it together!
Bridge & Build Wisconsin supports youth affected by pandemic isolation and the impact of social media, urging adults to unite across communities for their mental well-being. It is a cross-generational effort to improve youth mental health and restore civic health.
Mattering empowers youth to feel valued and essential, encouraging meaningful contributions to their communities while fostering purpose through their unique strengths. Celebrated at Lambeau Field, it builds confidence, combats hopelessness, and cultivates a culture of connection, service, and leadership.
Youth Voice empowers youth to share their stories, find purpose, and challenge divided adults to act for their well-being. They connect with peers for support and develop into confident communicators with professional guidance, forming a community of learning and advocacy.
Execution & Evidence documents youth contributions, supporting certificates, resumes, and portfolios that highlight career, civic, and soft skills. These records benefit youth and employers, especially in diverse or ability-challenged demographics, while supporting customized learning initiatives.
Community Partnerships use student empowerment and engagement to reduce youth self-harm and suicide. Local programs offer hope and solutions, with Lambeau Field serving as a gathering space for youth, leaders, and mental health professionals.
