Why Attend?

At this Summit, we will take a deeper look into the wide range of prevention services the Kenneth Young Center provides. Through interactive workshops, expert-led sessions, and cross-sector dialogue, participants will engage with innovative strategies that strengthen trauma-informed and culturally responsive prevention practices. This Summit creates a collaborative space for partners to connect, exchange best practices, examine emerging trends and data, and build collective capacity across organizations committed to supporting youth. Together, we aim to elevate prevention efforts, inspire meaningful action, and strengthen the systems that help young people thrive.
