Make a difference AND some money.
The Ohio Youth Leadership Summit is a paid opportunity through which young people ages 18-29 empower themselves personally and politically. As a participant, you can earn cash while boosting your resume, developing leadership and community organizing skills, and learning how to have the awkward conversations that protect your personal health.
Learn how to:
- Host a Safer Party using harm reduction skills
- Address racism, poverty, and HIV stigma in your community
- Recognize and prevent STIs
The commitment
This year’s summit is returning to its pre-pandemic roots as an in-person, weekend retreat. The 2023 Ohio Youth Leadership Summit will take place at the Mohican Lodge & Conference Center in Perrysville, OH, August 11 – 13.
Our 2023 Theme | Making Every Connection Count
Creating meaningful connections are a hallmark of good mental, emotional, & physical health. It is also the hallmark of the Ohio Youth Leadership Summit.
- In today’s technology-drive world, we can have hundreds, thousands, or millions of followers, friends, shares, and likes on social media. Yet, we can still end up feeling lonely and isolated.
- Connection provides a sense of belonging. Connection disrupts isolation, depression, and anxiety.
- We experience better health outcomes when we are intentional about making real, healthy connections.
