What happened at the 8th Annual TEen Equity Summit?
Each year, Young Leaders, Strong City brings together high school students from across the Dallas - Ft. Worth area. On November 13th, 2021, more than 200 students attended the 8th Annual Young Leaders, Strong City Teen Equity Summit. The summit is a half-day leadership development experience with meaningful discussions on identity, equity, and organizing for change.
A big thank you to all of the students who attended, our student planning committee, donors, facilitators, and volunteers who helped make it happen!

YLSC IS A CAREFULLY CURATED SPACE
Communicating and Collaborating Across Lines of Difference
Each year, YLSC brings together hundreds of students from public, private, and charter schools to talk about race. Facilitated by local educators, artists, and historians, our programming offers students the opportunity to critically engage with their peers from different backgrounds and identities. Each YLSC program begins by grounding students in their local history and explores their individual concepts of race and identity.
