When youth are conscious of the root causes of the problems they face, they act in profound ways to resist and transform issues that they view as unjust.
The Youth Summit will develop their critical consciousness by educating them as to how their personal struggles have socio-political explanations. Learning from their past in order to move forward will equip and enhance their knowledge, skills, and abilities to prepare them to become advocates for change locally, nationally, and abroad.

Seeing that healing and hope are critical for activism and social change, the Youth Summit will serve as a community composed of love and hope to allow all participants to engage in self-exploration for growth and healing.
This experience will enable them to cultivate resistance against beliefs, attitudes, and practices that can erode their self-confidence and impair their identity development. Within this community, youth will be able to develop their radical imagination so that they can envision new possibilities for their lives – creating the type of society in which they want to live.

Hope and imagination, coupled with a critical consciousness, inspire youth to not only understand that the conditions of their community are not permanent, but also that the first step to change is to imagine new possibilities.
The Youth Summit will empower youth to think about real-life issues and create bold solutions that have the power to transform their communities, the state of Texas, the United States of America, and the world as we know it.
