A Public Policy and Service Learning Program
for High School Students in Illinois
Youth have the power to bring about change. Giving students a voice in
decisions that affect them is what the Illinois Youth Summit is all about
Now in its 13th year, the Illinois Youth Summit promotes awareness, investigation and civic action by high school students on current public policy issues affecting youth. The Illinois Youth Summit is a vital opportunity for high school students from across Illinois to work with community leaders and policymakers on issues affecting them.
Over 1,300 Illinois high school students participate annually. Summit delegations consist of a teacher and 5-10 students from the participating high school.
